Edits Implemented

Made edits (to both this and Roundtable slide deck) as directed by Marty and it's looking like we're in a great place for Wednesday's community call!

I tracked down my custom LNO staff diagram powerpoint and put it in a more findable place in the Google Drive (LTER-LNO-general / communications-products / 2024-lno-staff-diagram) which should make it more easily editable going forward. Finally, I also added links to this / the roundtable slide deck to a new ssecr-course subfolder of the presentations folder in the same Shared Drive as the staff diagram.

  • Matchmaking of teams with mentors based on discipline / interests
  • Substantial opportunities to connect with team mentors but also intermittent
  • Professional networking built in

Presentation Done!

Gave the presentation and it seemed like it went well! Posted a request for feedback on Discourse (see here) so we'll see what sort of feedback comes in. That said, I think we can safely close this issue
