Agenda- Biodiversity Workshop, Sept. 9-12, 1998

Workshop participants--

Below is a tentative agenda for the Biodiversity workshop scheduled for Wednesday, 9 September - Friday, 11 September. Please note that we have identified potential discussion leaders based on expertise and our perceived willingness that you might lead the group. If you are a designated discussion leader and you don't want the job, let me know ASAP. If you are discussion leader and you want some guidance about your role, contact Bruce Hayden (bph@virginia.edu) or Scott Collins (scollins@nsf.gov) for details.

And on a more logistical note: workshop attendees will be paired in rooms. So if you have a room-mate preference, let Jen <jlp4y@virginia.edu> know.
