Did you recently get your Ph.D.?  Are you interested in climate  
change and its impacts?   If yes, then read on...

DISCCRS (pronounced "discourse ") is an interdisciplinary initiative  
for recent Ph.D. graduates conducting research related to climate  
change and its impacts. The goal is to broaden research interests and  
establish a collegial peer network extending across the spectrum of  
natural and social sciences, humanities, mathematics, engineering and  
other disciplines related to climate change and its impacts. The  
initiative includes a public webpage, weekly electronic newsletter,  
and annual symposia funded through 2008.

Register now at http://www.disccrs.org/register.html to have your  
Ph.D. dissertation abstract archived on the DISCCRS webpage and  
receive the weekly electronic DISCCRS Newsletter. You will also  
receive reminders of the upcoming symposium:

research, societal and professional issues with each other and with  
established researchers invited to serve as mentors.
