Hello, fellow Ecologgers- In an effort to add helpful content to the ESA Student Section website<http://www.esa.org/students/section/> and in response to many informal queries, we would like to develop a page of suggested questions that future grad students should ask when considering graduate programs and that graduate students should ask when considering post-docs or faculty jobs. These can be questions you always ask, questions you wish you had asked, or questions no one ever thinks to ask but really should. If you would like to contribute, please take a moment to fill out the 'form' below and send responses to *[email protected]* by February 16. I will compile the results and send another email when they're up on the web. Please forward this to other folks that might like to contribute.

Kennedy challenged our nation to land a man on the moon within 10 years. Eight years and two months later, Neil Armstrong set foot on the lunar surface. The average age of the systems engineers cheering on Apollo 11 from the Houston control room that day was 26, which means that their average age when President Kennedy announced the challenge was 18." - Al Gore
