From: ISHPSSB 2001 Meeting <[log in to unmask]> 2001 PROGRAM Now is the time to be thinking seriously about assembling sessions for next summer! Many members have already posted prospective topics for the 2001 meetings on our bulletin board at http://www.phil.vt.edu/ishpssb/2001/. (Earlier problems on posting and viewing abstracts have now been fixed.) I encourage everyone to use the bulletin board to float their tentative ideas with other members. I've already heard from several non-members who have been inspired by the postings and are considering attending the meetings and/or joining the society. I want to alert everyone again to the potential for organizing sessions specifically designated for discussing papers read in advance. Papers will need to be posted on the web 8 weeks in advance of the meetings. This revives an earlier tradition of the society and we hope it can foster more productive discussion and interaction. Given the relatively late deadline for proposals (March 15), members who may need letters of acceptance to apply for travel funds should contact me as soon as needed.
