  • Plans for ASHS-2001 in Sacramento, CA  July 22-25.  We are tentatively planning a workshop that will address some issues on research methodology or experimental design.  We hope this workshop will be very interactive.  Perhaps participants can bring research ideas and work together to plan valid ways to conduct research on the ideas.
  • Plans for XXVI ISHS meeting in Toronto in 2002.  Yes, we will be there and doing many things!
