Talk's Abstract
The Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network Office is excited to announce a new course titled "Synthesis Skills for Early Career Researchers" or "SSECR" for short (pronounced like 'seeker'). This course aims to address the need for more comprehensive interpersonal and data skills in ecology, particularly for graduate students and postdocs. We are excited to use the NCEAS Roundtable format as a platform to share the structure and topics we've decided on so far, as well as invite feedback and collaboration with the NCEAS community. For more information, please visit the LTER website page for the SSECR course (lternet.edu/ssecr).
