<> LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

It is a quaint notion that "things slow down" in the summer - if it is true then summer has not yet arrived. It has been a normally busy week. We entertained CU Vice President for Research David Hirsh on Monday, and met for the first time his new deputy Deborah Stiles. On Tuesday I was in DC for a Marine Mammal Commission meeting. Wednesday was press day with interviews for a local magazine and for Voice of America. The highlight of Thursday was the fact that I managed to steal an hour away from my desk to listen to Bill Ryan's lecture to the Summer interns, linking eastern Mediterranean archeological findings to volcano-triggered climate change. Just a wonderfully convincing story.

And today we had the privilege of entertaining CU Provost Alan Brinkley who spent six hours with us, touring the campus, meeting with groups of researchers and students and listening (very politely) to all our concerns and aspirations. This was a very useful and productive visit. And thank you to everyone who participated and made it so successful.

Have a great weekend,

– Mike
