REFLECTIONS ON UNIVERSITY RESEARCH FUNDING, FROM PHYSICS TODAY<br>
Submitted by DIALOGer Craig Tobias--thanks,
Craig!<br>
Just wanted to drop a note and check whether you have read Birnbaums
article<br>
"A Personal Reflection on University Research Funding" which
appeared in the March Physics Today? Not saying that I agree
with all of it but I have<br>
heard some of his points echoed in various circles. You can find
it at<br>
http://www.physicstoday.org/vol-55/iss-3/p49.html</div>
<div>Hope all is well. Craig Tobias</div>

<div>SPEAKERS NEEDED</div>
<div>Looking for plenary speakers on science and restoration:</div>
<div> Message from DIALOGer Anke
Mueller-Solger</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am on the organizing committe for a semi-large (about 600-800
people), semi-regional conference, the CALFED Science Conference 2003
(s. <a
href="http://calfed.water.ca.gov/events_news.html"
>http://calfed.water.ca.gov/events_news.html</a> ) which will
take place in Sacramento, CA, Jan. 14-16, 2003. The emphasis is on
"Science and Restoration" in the San
Francisco estuary and its watershed. We are
currently looking for excellent (interesting, captivating,
motivating, reknowned...) plenary speakers from around the nation (or
world) to give us their perspective
on "restoration and science" or "restoration and
policy," or law, or land use, or some such thing. We are also
specifically looking for reknowned experts to talk about salmon
restoration or a large-scale restoration project they have been
involved in. Furthermore, we are striving for a more gender-balanced
plenary session, i.e. we are especially looking for more women
speakers. Does anyone have any good suggestions? I'd very much
appreciate it!</div>
