<> LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

So, as it was Memorial Day on Monday, I guess that means summer has started. Not sure that I have noticed - meetings continue, the density of workshops, in fact, increases - there remains far more to be done than is possible within the conventional 7 day 24 hour framework.  The most positive sign of summer is the arrival of the summer interns - an unusually large group this year, because of our initiative to build the program using internal funds, and entrain more CU undergrads.

The big event next week - the Jardetzky Lecture has unfortunately been cancelled - the speaker Al Levander from Rice University called today to say he has the flu.  We will reschedule shortly.

Jeff Sach's presentation yesterday on the Earth Institute Strategic Plan was a high point of the week - a great talk and excellent questions - we must persuade Jeff to come across the bridge more often.

I shall be working on finalizing the LDEO input into this plan over the weekend - a substantial effort has gone into this - I think after we have provided the Earth Institute with the brief document that they need from us we will develop a more complete and substantial document for ourselves - too much effort has been invested in this to stop now.

Have a great summer weekend,


- Mike
