The visit to Guiyang and the Wanshan mining area, The ICMGP, and the course in Umeå! Just as important as these big events though are the actual projects and individual exchanges that have started up in the background. For 2016 and onwards it will be such focussed activities that will play a bigger role in SMaReF, even though educational activities like the May Ecotox will continue to be arranged. Now, though it is time to enjoy our respective holiday seasons in Sweden and China! Season’s Greeting! Kevin ECOTOX workshop in China in May: Joint workshop between SMaReF and CHEMSTREES The Sino-Swedish Mercury Management Research Framework, in cooperation with “Swedish-Chinese chemical pollution stress and risks research program in the Yangtze river delta region” invite applications from PhD students and other interested researchers to a workshop led by Dr. Martin Kainz on the ”Principles of Aquatic Eco- toxicology and food webs”. In this course we will learn and work on how to combine aquatic food web processes with environmental toxicology. This will be held at Tongji University in Shanghai between May 9 and 16. Invitation and contact information will be announced soon. Next newsletter Planned for release in March 2016. We encourage you to send newly published Hg- related papers that also can be added to this newsletter. Send this to: [email protected] New publications Levanoni, O. Bishop, K. Mckie, B. G.
