Of course we could think of making it even more frequent but we are already deluged with seminars - this week there being five :( <BR/><BR/>AMOK: Nice to have you back.

Why not we scientists of colour invite one another to come and spend a few days or weeks at each other's institutes, come up with good collaborations and put out good joint publications? Of course that is what TPSC and programmes like that are for, but why not increase the popularity of such programmes by injecting some energy into them? Why save endowed lectures only for those with arthritis, by-passes and those above 80?
