SPECTRE
SPECTRE (Size PECTrum REading group) is an international group with > 120 participants. The aim of SPECTRE is to bring the size spectrum community closer together by providing a platform where colleagues from different regions can meet and talk about applying the size spectrum theory in aquatic communities.
Starting in February 2021, the
group meets virtually once every two/three months to discuss a paper or a
general question relevant to the topic. We organize two or three meetings on
the same topic to cover different time zones. The meetings are not obligatory,
and the participants can join the ones they find interesting.
SPECTRE’s no. 1 rule: “There's no
such thing as a stupid question.”
SPECTRE includes members from the
whole academic spectrum (undergrads to emeritus) and with different areas of
expertise. Additionally, we acknowledge that it can be intimidating to make
comments or questions on others’ work, especially when they are present. As in
SPECTRE there's no such thing as a stupid question, we hope that people will
feel comfortable sharing their thoughts at the meeting.
We use slack as our main
communication platform. Please send us an email at spectre.organizer@gmail.com if
you want to learn more and/or join SPECTRE.
