Wait, for Ecology what specific biomes in the forest biome are being covered? I'm quite confused (and I really don't feel like studying 4-5 of them... ) Thanks!

Yes, it was designed for a two year rotation and is now being replaced by ecology.

For test events such as Materials Science and Rocks & Minerals, are the rules and topics expected to change much from the last time they were events or are they likely to be about the same?

For ID events like rocks and minerals the list and rules usually won't change that much. There usually will be a few items taken out/added to the lists. For material science I don't know too much but from what I have seen the rules will most likely either be identical or similar. I am working on that event over the summer and using the old rules to create some notes so I don't think you should worry too much about the rules changing.

Any ideas or possibilities on what the new Towers specs will be?
