Dr. James Wood - Speaking in the #reefs chatroom this Sunday

[jamesw]

Sunday, August 5th, 8:00 PM (EST) in the #reefs chatroom - Dr. James Wood -
"An Introduction to Cephalopods (octopus, cuttlefish and squid)" In
addition to Dr. Wood's talk, we have posted his Powerpoint presentation
online for all to read - and follow along during his seminar. The address
of the presentation will be provided during the talk.

Dr. James B. Wood is a marine biologist and professional underwater
photographer. All marine invertebrates fascinate him but cephalopods are his
favorites. James has kept aquatic animals since he was four; he captured and
kept his first octopus while in high school. He publishes scientific work
but also makes time to write popular articles and web sites and give
presentations to museums, aquariums and clubs. James is currently working on
CephBase - http://www.cephbase.utmb.edu/ at the National Resource Center for
Cephalopods - http://www.nrcc.utmb.edu/ at the University of Texas Medical
Branch in Galveston, Texas.

Any way you could post the link to the PowerPoint presentation ahead of time James? For us modem users out in the styx that can't connect at any faster than 28.8 (not to mention that I don't have PP at home!), that's going to be a real PITA to try to download in real time during the talk. Not all of us have high speed internet access...

Can ya help us out?

I should clarify. The powerpoint presentation is a WEB PAGE. You will be able to view the page using the current version of Internet Explorer. The page does NOT WORK with netscape unfortunately and I apologize for that in advance.

I have already checked that the pages load fast over a modem connection and it should be no problem.

Cheers
James
