[medsbio-l] [SPAM] ASSP No luck on NSF funding

[Nicholas K. Sauter]

Herbert,
It's difficult to see how an emphasis on students would help the aims of 
the workshop.  It would be great if we could pay for travel for a 
representative from ESRF X06SA or Dectris to collaborate on Pilatus 
support--otherwise I don't have any ideas to help make the case.  If you 
need a straightforward letter of support from me explaining my 
invovement in the workshop, I'd be happy to draft one.
