We are hosting a session entitled "Biogeochemistry in Polar
Environments" that will provide a forum for researchers investigating
the interactions of microbes with geology and chemistry in polar and
general cryosphere environments. We invite you to submit an abstrac

Actually, I would say that an A is much easier to get these days with
grade inflation. When I took comparative anatomy under Lauren Brown the
class dominated our life, staying in the lab until 2 & 3 am every night
just to get a B. Now I see many students with As in that course that

Wendee may be onto something, and apparently she's not the only one thinking
along this line. There's an article in the July-September Conservation

This is a conservation challenge that really needs discussion. For over 100
years hunters and anglers have carried the load when it comes to wildlife
conservation. This has produced mostly good results -- restoration of elk,
pronghorn, waterfowl, bighorn sheep and many other huntable species. It
Why don't people who care about conservation (nonhunters) consider tithing

I believe it is becoming increasingly competitive to enter graduate
school and get funding.
An "A" is the new "B".
(In Canada) There are two ways to get "in" with a low GPA:
1. Find a supervisor (with access to funding) and demonstrate you're
a good worker with academic potential. Working as a
I think it is a sad state of affairs when the people who pay for
conservation are the hunters and the fishermen, and the people who do not
pay are the rest. I think that if conservation is ever really going to
happen, people need to learn how to live WITH nature. There are many
species that will

Many people are late bloomers, but 2.77 (A = 4.0) is not an abyssmal GPA.
I suspect you will find many PHDs whose undergrad GPA was in this

Hi Robert-
I've got about 160,000 miles on my 1991 Trooper and it's still going strong.
Although a bit hard to find on the used market, they're still out there.

I wish that birds were always so easy to see. A typical backyard feeder in
North America regularly attracts only a few species depending on season and
other factors. Backyard birders put up several types of feeders to attract
