Eco-Lunch will be a slightly different format to normal.
Following from his NCEAS project of a graduate textbook, Gary
will be leading a discussion on how to teach community ecology,
including: what topics are essential; how to best organize them
into a class syllabus or text; as well as what topics are new
and hot and are likely to still be important 20 years from now.<br>
