Calling all PYRN members in the UK. PYRN is currently looking for a new national representative in the UK as the current representative Cecile Menard will be stepping down to focus on finishing her Ph.D. I would like to take this time to extend a special thanks to Cecile for her three and a half years of service representing PYRN in the UK. The UK has a long tradition of producing some of the top permafrost scientists in the world and requires an active strong voice. The PYRN executive committee is currently looking for an individual in the UK who would be interested in replacing Cecile. If you are currently studying in the UK and are interested please contact Philip Bonnaventure (pbonn075@uottawa.ca) ASAP. Thank you and best wishes, Philip.
