LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
Highlights this week were Jeff Sachs leading the Open Meeting
on the new Geochemistry building before a capacity audience
in the Monell Auditorium on Tuesday; some interesting briefings
for two of Congressman Engel's staffers on Wednesday; and
one of the shortest ExCom's in recent history on Friday!
But also of great significance this week has been the attention
that some of our solid earth research has received - Connie
Class and Steve Goldstein's very visible 'whole mantle convection'
paper in Nature (see LDEO web site also) and Paul Richards'
rotation of the core' paper in Science that was picked up
both by this morning's New York Times and CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/science/08/25/
earth.spin.ap/index.html) This was all excellent coverage
for the Observatory - congratulations to all - and thanks
to our folks in External relations for making it all happen.
I am escaping next week - going to Maine - so if you can avoid
sending me email I would appreciate it!
- Mike
