Hello All,

I thought some readers of this list might be interested in the Synchrotron  Environmental Science meeting described below and at the following link. http://esd.lbl.gov/sesIV08/index.html

Even if I do say so myself, I think its going to be a very interesting conference form both a synchrotron science and environmental science point of view.   Plus, its always nice to go to California in the winter. :)

Thanks. --Peter
