The states finally got something right!

And those things are USGS Webinar Courses for Natural Resource Managers. The United States Geological Survey has a "Status and Trends of Biological Resources Program" which is a great source of information for any biologist, especially those working in academia or government.

The courses are free, all you have to do is register for them. You can watch them live through an online webinar window, which is great because you can also ask questions at the end of each webinar. If the timing of the webinar is inconvenient, you can also watch the recordings at a later time - and all slides/notes/data are provided!

Upcoming courses are listed on the website (link below) - and many of them have been done before, so you can even review the notes before the course starts to see if the topic is one that will be useful to you. I've already completed the "Modelling Patterns and Dynamics of Species Occurrence" course, and am currently signed up for the "Learn R By Example" course.

You can access the website and register for courses here.
