President's Corner

Peter Taylor

As this newsletter makes evident, the membership have been generating the usual ISHPSSB mix of not-exactly-predictable session and paper proposals. And the program coordinator, Bob Richardson, has been compiling these into the makings of a stimulating program. Time remains for submission of addtional proposals, but email them in soon. The society's email list continues to serve as a way to announce sessions in formation and updated versions of the program will be posted on the web site.

The nominating process for new Council members is underway. Send nominating committee members your suggestions, or get together with one other person and send in an actual nomination. Prospective Council nominees should be aware that, if elected, they will have to serve on 1-3 committees and volunteer for jobs such as newsletter editor.

Please take note of the deadline of February 1st for submissions for the Marjorie Grene Prize. As announced in the previous newsletter, this prize is intended to advance the careers of younger scholars, and will be awarded to the best manuscript based on a paper presented at one of the previous two ISHPSSB meetings by someone who is, or was at the time of the paper's presentation, a graduate student. The award will consist of a certificate and up to $200 towards expenses incurred in attending the following meeting of the Society.

See you in Seattle,
Peter Taylor
