Dear friends and colleagues,
We would like to invite you to join our special session at SIL in Nanjing, China, August 2018.
This session will celebrate Charles R. Goldman and his 88th birthday; an 88th birthday has a special meaning in Japan, since its double eights (8x8) means double infinity (∞) and is a symbol of long life. We hope you can join us for this special event to share the enjoyment, and to celebrate Charles and his vision of ‘global limnology’.

Session abstract: This session is in celebration of world limnologist Charles R. Goldman and his 88th birthday.
