Letter

I want to thank the following folks for enormous contributions to the success of the workshops at the recent annual meeting in Philadelphia:

Carol Morton, who worked with me in planning everything and was instrumental in coordinating the physical arrangements, including the Wednesday workshop at the Academy of Natural Sciences
Jane Stevens, who put together the hugely successful Wednesday section
Kathryn Brown, freelancer, who organized three great workshops for freelancers even though she knew she would be having her baby at the time of the meeting
Seema Kumar and Cheryl Greenhouse who organized the PIO workshops on Friday and drew rave reviews from everyone who attended
Of course, Diane McGurgan, who handled all the administrative chores with incredible good humor. She helps make this whole thing fun to do.
And also a special thanks to Ellen Cooper of AAAS for all her support and her special efforts in helping us switch rooms when Clinton changed his mind and decided to speak on Friday...
