In case you haven't yet filled in your summer conference schedule, please consider the
Gordon Research Conference on Statistics in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering July 27-August 1, 2003 http://www.amstat.org/sections/spes/GRC2003.htm This is one of the best meetings for what's up and coming in chemometrics and industrial statistics: much of what you hear will eventually show up in the pages of Technometrics and the Journal of Chemometrics and JQT. More importantly, it's a great place to meet the folks who are *writing* those papers: the conference format is specifically designed to encourage a lot of off-line scientific interaction. I've got an ulterior motive in bringing it to your attention. The conference needs to attract a certain number of registrants in order to maintain its standing with the organization that runs it, and it's still a few folks shy of the required number. So if you were thinking about going some year, take it from me that *this* is the year to do so, in order to ensure the continued health of the meeting. Take a look at the program on the web site given above, and let me know if you've got any questions. Please feel free to pass on this advertisement to anyone else you think may be interested. -- Randy Tobias, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] SAS Institute Inc.
