Hi all - Recently an email was sent announcing the upcoming annual meeting of the Northwest Student Chapter of the Society for Marine Mammalogy (NWSSMM) that is being held on 2 May 2009 at Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA. The NWSSMM serves the community of marine mammal graduate and undergraduate students in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Alaska, and British Columbia. More information about our meeting can be found at: <http://www.marinemammalogy.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=136&Itemid=171> We also wanted to let you know that the NWSSMM has a listserv, which you can join if you are interested in events of the NWSSMM and other local activities.
