[IYRPsupportgroup] New publication: "A case of benign neglect"

[Ann Waters-Bayer]

Many thanks, Kathrine - and all the best to those of you presenting at
the breakfast meeting tomorrow.

UNEA will be a sad occasion, after several people on the way to the
conference were killed yesterday in the plane crash near Addis. A moment
of silence on their honour would be fitting. Condolences to those who
lost friends and colleagues.
