| In October 2007, Hugh Ducklow (PI, PAL), Nancy Grimm (PI, CAP) and Scott Collins (PI, SEV) were invited to participate in the 2007 George Bush US-China Relations Conference held this year in Washington DC. The goal of the conference series, hosted by Texas A & M University, The Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, The George Bush Presidential Library Foundation, and The George Bush School of Public Service, is to “promote one of the world’s most important relationships and to help strengthen and expand its academic and business collaborations.” Plenary speakers included several current and former Cabinet Secretaries, and the banquet dinner was hosted by former President George H.W. Bush. |

| A gathering of giant green snakes? A huge spider towering over us? Not really, just a tangled mass of roots and stems, each enshrouded in a thick layer of green moss, that surrounded us as we hiked down to Yuan Yang Lake (YYL) in north central Taiwan (see the July 2005 BioScience cover for more photos). Surrounded by ancient cypress (some thousands of years old) and fed by cloud water and typhoons, the thick, verdant forest seems an odd place for a US LTER Information Manger to be! However, YYL is the site of one of an increasing network of wirelessly-connected buoys studying lake metabolism (www.lakemetabolism.org; http://gleon.org), and my visit there was part of a growing collaboration between individual LTER sites and the Taiwan Ecological Research Network (TERN). |
