LANDIS-II training session this coming May!
Melissa Lucash
Hello LANDIS-II users,
We are holding a virtual LANDIS-II Training Workshop in May
2025!
It will be held on the following dates: May 7 (Wed), 9, (Fri), 14 (Wed), and 16 (Fri) from: 11a - 3p Eastern Time Zone, 10a - 2p Central, 9a - 1p Mountain, and 8a - 12p Pacific.
This is a fast-paced, hands-on workshop, conducted through Zoom, designed to give new users the background they need to start running LANDIS-II. Participation is capped at 20 to ensure a high trainer: student ratio. Participants will also be able to select two advanced LANDIS-II training topics that will be taught in additional sessions in the summer/fall of 2025, scheduled with the specific topic instructor.
Cost: $500 USD (PayPal or Check only)
Instructors volunteer their time, and all proceeds go to the LANDIS-II Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)3 devoted to maintaining the code base of LANDIS-II. Your fee entitles you to 4 hours/day of training from a variety of LANDIS experts, two advanced training sessions (2-4 hours each), and a digital copy of the LANDIS-II Exercise book. Payments will be processed by Robert Scheller (LANDIS-II Foundation treasurer).
To Register: Provide your contact information to Morgan Truncer (Morgan....@usda.gov).
