Hi all,Here are two links of interest: The first is from Jim Gurney's blog, with a very nice report of the conference under July 24th: http://gurneyjourney.blogspot.com/2008/07/guild-of-natural-science-illustrators.html The second is an article that was in the Journal Nature. Your best bet for reading it is from a university library unless you have a subscription. The article came out the week before the conference and was posted on the bulletin board at the registration. http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v454/n7202/full/454278a.html Both good press for the GNSI. The Ithaca conference committee rocks! Cheers, Gretchen Gretchen Halpert GNSI past-president (Gail, I owe you the tiara.) Elmira, NY [log in to unmask]
