Hi all,
Hope you are all fairing well! PAG is underway and we had a wonderful fruit and nut workshop this morning!
The US RosExec meeting will be held in the Stratford room here at PAG Sunday Jan 12 (tomorrow) from 8am-10am with an international meeting following immediately from 10am-12pm.
I have attached an agenda for the meeting as well as two set of minutes form the previous meetings that we need to accept.
If anyone is not at PAG and wants to join the US RosExec meeting, please drop me an e-mail, friend me on Skype (jd.swanson1), and I’ll sign you in! Please be online by at 7.50 Pacific time so we can get rolling here. From what I understand it can be a little hard to listen in, but I’ll do my best. I will also record the meeting which you can request from me at any time to listen at your convenience.
Looking forward to catching up and see you tomorrow!
Best
JD

Hello Everyone,
I hope that you had a great break. I have an opening this year for a postdoctoral position, focusing on plant nutrition, specifically nitrogen on the development of peach flavor.
If you know of someone, (and maybe that's you!) - I will say that Florida has nice sunny and warm weather when everyone else is freezing. :)
Thanks so much everyone!
Take care and Happy New Year,
Mercy
