Additional Comments:

We talked about merging with the other proposed phenology workshop but it sounds like the scope, species and objectives of the two sessions are very different so they could be scheduled separately as long as they aren't overlapping.

Additional Comments:

Chris Neill from PIE is also a co-organizer of these proposed working groups but the form did not allow me to submit his name in the space provided because it said it was an invalid user name. We would like to conduct 2 sessions for this proposed working group - one on Monday and a second on Wednesday 9/12. We are inviting several science journalists to participate in this workshop that will work with us for activities on both of these days. The first proposed workgroup session will be oriented toward brainstorming and information sharing and the second workgroup session will be product oriented.
