Financial aid is available to help cover costs. So far we have a great group of graduate students (and a few advanced undergraduates), including a number of international students, but we've had a couple last minute cancellations and so there's still room in the course.

Sand's Beach, part of UCSB's Coal Oil Point Reserve, is home to the Western Snowy Plover and the CA Least Tern, threatened and endangered shorebirds that now roost AND breed there after abandoning the beach as a nesting site for over 40 years. We are mid-way through the nesting season and several snowy plover chicks are running around on the sandy beaches at Coal Oil Point. Come help protect this threatened species through the breeding season- their most vulnerable part of year. Become a Snowy Plover Docent! Those who wish to help protect the nests and chicks of plovers and terns or simply want to learn more about them and their sensitive, coastal habitat, have a chance to get involved this Saturday. ***The next COPR Tour and Snowy Plover Docent Training is Saturday, June 30th, 9:00AM-1:30PM*** COPR Tour 9AM- 11AM ~Open to the public~ Plover Presentation/Docent Training 11:30AM-1:30PM Plover Docents are trained to protect adult plovers and their chicks and eggs and educate the public about conservation. The tour and the training are both required to become a Snowy Plover Docent. Docents volunteer 2 hours per week. There is opportunity for internship credit, community service, but best of all, hands-on experience protecting species that are in peril. ***Registration required-*** Contact: Jennifer Stroh 880-1195 stroh at lifesci.ucsb.edu For more information about the Reserve or the Plover Docent Program, visit http://coaloilpoint.ucnrs.org/ For a Snowy Plover Slide Show by Callie Bowdish: http://homepage.mac.com/cjbowdish/SnowyPloversCOPRDec2006 Thank you, Jennifer Snowy Plover Docent Program Coordinator ----- End forwarded message ----- From biology-u-l at mentor.lscf.ucsb.edu Tue Jun 26 12:16:58 2007 From: biology-u-l at mentor.lscf.ucsb.edu (Biology Undergraduate List) Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2007 12:16:58 -0700 Subject: [Biology-U-L] Additional Chem 6B Lab This Summer Message-ID: <4681662A.2080502@lifesci.ucsb.edu> This summer, the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department will be adding an additional Chem 6B lab for Summer 2007 Degree Candidates only.
