Dear all,
------------------------------------
CEE Event Wall-mas - 5th December
CEE's "Wall-mas" 2015 event will provide a family-friendly weekend networking
opportunity for CEE members in the inspirational grounds of the London zoo.
Wallmas is an event designed to celebrate the
immense contribution of Alfred Russell Wallace to our science and bringing the
family-friendly spirit of Christmas and joy to all!
With Oxford zoologist and renowned natural history presenter George McGavin
delivering a talk that will appeal to children and adults, free access to the
London zoo, and activities and encounters for children, this new addition to
the CEE event calendar will provide new opportunities for discussion and
mingling to foster collaborations across CEE institutions.
All staff, postdocs, and students, and their families, are encouraged to attend
and enjoy a relaxed environment in which to engage with other London-area
researchers in ecology and evolution.
Please note that lunch is not provided, but many options are available for
purchase in the ZSL cafes, or food can be brought from outside the zoo. Seating
for lunch will be available in the Nuffield Building. Registration opens from
10am.
