INTECOL 2013 and the BES Centenary celebrations are over, but for me the event hosted in the old docklands area of east London will be remembered for a long time. Remembered for what? It was my pleasure to listen to many excellent talks ranging from detailed presentations of narrowly focused research, to the wide ranging…
I suppose that many of us have experienced the feeling of being at a very large conference where we have planned all of the talks we would like to see only to realize they are all in different rooms on alternating sides of the venue. As a graduate student I did my best to run…

I dived into the INTECOL programme, with the aim of starting by trying to identify talks that I really don’t want to miss. I’ve picked out some…
I was recently asked by the executive board of Journal of Ecology to highlight presentations and other events that I am looking forward to at the INTECOL conference, taking place in London, August 18-23 (http://www.intecol2013.org).

A few months ago, when I was checking out flights for ESA, I googled ‘ Cool things to do in Minneapolis’. The search results were sobering: all I got was ‘Things to do in Minneapolis’. I was worried.
Since I am very excited about all things data management, data analysis, reproducible research, etc. I was excited to see that Carly Strasser already organized a list of talks and workshops around those areas, see here. In addition, I’m looking forward to a number of talks, sessions, and workshops (in no particular order): Evaluating a…
