[ASLO Students]DIALOG

[Maggie Squires]

> >>Dear students,
> >>     I wanted to alert you to a program for recent Ph.D. recipients:
> >>     The
> >>Dissertations Initiative for the Advancement of Limnology and
> >>Oceanography (DIALOG) program. The program accomplishes 3 things:
> >>     1. Dissertation registry for Ph.D. recipients. This has been
> >>tremendously popular way for recent graduates to introduce
> >>themselves and their work to the broader community. For the DIALOG
> >>III program, 166 limnologists and oceanographers registered. The
> >>registry is posted on the ASLO web page and searchable by name, year
> >>and key words. Those who register their dissertations for the DIALOG
> >>IV program (dissertations completed between April 1, 1999 and
> >>December 31, 2001) will also receive a complete list of names,
> >>contact information, and abstracts submitted to the DIALOG IV
> >>program.
> >>     2. Demographic informationis collected, to help us better
> >>     characterize
> >>recent graduates. The NSF survey that is completed by all U.S. Ph.D.
> >>recipients does not include limnology as a field, so it is
> >>impossible to collect any information for this group from their
> >>data. The demographic information collected through the DIALOG
> >>program will help us define your cohort, and see how it compares
> >>with others.
> >>    3. A symposium is held every 2 years to promote
> >>    interdisciplinary
> >>understanding and collegial relationships. This has been a wonderful
> >>opportunity for aquatic scientists to meet colleagues from around
> >>the world. Travel and on-site expenses are covered by the sponsoring
> >>agencies. Participation is limited to 40 and is competitive, but so
> >>far the success rate is well above that for an NSF grant. It is a
> >>wonderful opportunity and I encourage you all to apply.
> >>     Please register your dissertation when you complete your
> >>     degree, and
> >>apply for the DIALOG symposium. Information about the program is
> >>available at http://aslo.org/dialog.html. Please let me know if you
> >>have any questions.
