Tony: Hi! When will you be moving up to Michigan? Let me know if I can help you and your family get settled in, even if that just means inviting you over for a barbecue! I am planning to have geocog/geoed folks from Michigan over to my place for a get together sometime later in the summer (Aug., probably), but I'd love to have you out before then. I'm preparing for GSA, and wanted to see if you still needed/wanted me to submit an invited paper to your session on Qual/Quant research. I'm happy either way; just let me know so I can submit an abstract if needed! Take care Julie Julie Libarkin Assistant Professor Department of Geological Sciences & Division of Science and Mathematics Education (DSME) Michigan State University 206 Natural Science Building East Lansing, MI 48824-1115 [EMAIL: [log in to unmask]] [WEBSITE: http://www.msu.edu/~libarkin/] [Primary Phone in Geological Sciences: (517) 355-8369] [Secondary Phone in DSME: (517)432-2152, ext. 161] On Feb 8, 2008, at 11:16 AM, Dr. Anthony Feig wrote: > Julie, > > Id like you to consider being an invited speaker to my session. > this would be good for some of the qual stuff you are looking to > put out there if you have it.
