[BSW] Topic change for March 2 - "Ilha Formosa" + Misc.

[KATHY BILTON]

Topic change for March 2:

Previously, Doug Ripley was scheduled to speak to us about:  "Exploring 
the South Atlantic and Southern Oceans". However, in the course of his 
working on editing that presentation, he had a very unfortunate Powerpoint 
malfunction in which his close to 250 slides for that talk were no longer 
able to be displayed.

Tuesday, March 2 - 7PM - Dr. Doug Ripley will speak about: "Ilha Formosa – 
Observations of the Natural History of Taiwan, Republic of China"
