<> LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
I am back in town and suffering the consequences
of a backlog of work - but I should be caught up by the beginning
of next week.
Many congratulations are due to Robin Bell and her several
co-PIs for the success of their NSF ADVANCE proposal - a more
than $3M project submitted through the Earth Institute to
initiate new programs that will bring (and retain) more women
scientists into the field of earth sciences (broadly defined)
at Columbia. This is an important success and I look forward
to helping to insure over the next few years that this program
has the intended significant impact on our community of research
scientists.
The Jardetzky Lecture is the highlight of this afternoon
- I enjoyed talking with Professor Alan Levander earlier today
and look forward to seeing many of you at the reception in
Monell following his talk.
And I am very pleased to announce that the winner of the
image contest for the new LDEO website is the 'Antarctic Circle,
midwinter dawn' image, by Dee Breger. Congratulations and
the $100 prize will be on its way to Dee. Please continue
to review the test site at http://satchmo.ldeo.columbia.edu
and keep your comments coming - they have been very helpful.
The weekend promises to be beautiful - I will take a second
car full of audiovisual and computer equipment to sustain
my undergraduate daughter through the fall semester at Rutgers,
and I will spend the rest of the time here catching up on
innumerable pending tasks.
– Mike
