TGIF! Weekly Water News Summary, 17 - 23 November 2012

I trust my USA friends are enjoying Thanksgiving weekend.

Here in Corvallis we are preparing for the invasion of the Oregon Ducks (ranked #5 in the USA), as the annual 'Civil War' football game takes place at high noon tomorrow. We Beavers (ranked #16) took it in the shorts last year and are angling for revenge and the right to claim the revered Platypus (what else?) Trophy for the first time since 2007.

Mary Frances and I will head to the cinema to see Skyfall...

Clicking on a link beginning with '@' will take you to that person's Twitter account; clicking on a link beginning with '#' will take you to a Twitter list containing Tweets about a particular topic. Some items may not have a hot link to a story, which is fine - it may have been just an informational item or a personal message to someone. Or, I may have screwed up and forgotten the link!   

Enjoy!

Education
Writing faculty description for 'Geography of Water' position. Looking for someone schooled in physical & social sciences. Thoughts?

@dethsqudsalvadr Yes, IGERTs are PhD only. NSF has other fellowships not linked to an IGERT school but are PhD only I believe.

@dethsqudsalvadr NSF & EPA fellowships, but these are 2 to 3 year deals .Most grad schools don't admit w/o aid & provide RA/TA..
