Dear ISH Colleagues,
Please read the following message:
Best, Lloyd
ISHPSSB-listserv notice
For those of us in the northern hemisphere, summer has flown by quickly, and
the fall has arrived with a new set of responsibilities as well as demands
for the completion of tasks in the wake of our first successful "hybrid"
meeting. A huge note of thanks is due to the organizers of Toronto 2023,
Denis Walsh and Eric Desjardins, members of the organizing committee, the
University of Toronto and Western University, which also provided us with
Cliff Fielder, the logistics wizard. We also thank the program chairs
Tatjana Buklijas and Jan Baedke, and the many graduate students and
volunteers who helped ensure the smooth running of the meetings, a difficult
feat in a city like Toronto just emerging from the pandemic. And thanks also
to Don Opitz for his fiscal management, Sara Roe for keeping us connected,
and especially Rachel Ankeny who had oversight for all of it.
The new hybrid format offers us abundant opportunities but also poses some
challenges; first, however, we would like membership to provide us with
feedback about it, and indeed the 2023 meetings as a whole, as we plan for
the 2025 meetings in Porto, Portugal organized by Maria Strecht Almeida.
To that end, please find the time to fill out the excellent survey prepared
by Kate MacCord and Charles Pence, our program chairs for Porto 2025 by
October 20.
