This weekend I am holding a day-long photography course for the Evolution & Ecology graduate students here at the University of Illinois. This is mostly an in-house program, but after the registration dust settled we still have five spots available. Thus, we are opening the doors for general enrollment. If you’d like to participate in a hands-on photography crash course with a group of bright young biologists, we’d love to have you!

Dang, missed out. If this situation happens again, could I get on a waiting list? I live in St. Louis, so a short-notice trip to Urbana is usually very easy. I saw your excellent presentation at St. Louis-based MONEP club meeting (Missouri Nature and Environmental Photographers – http://www.MONEP.org for any S. Illinoisans/ Eastern MOans reading this)
