Dear Friends,

I have appreciated your becoming part of my Internet community by signing up to get emails during the 2006 campaigns. Now that I am in a new position, I am hoping that you will continue to stay involved in my work. This message will tell you something about the exciting work of the Center for Science, Technology and Public Policy at the University of Minnesota. It also asks you to subscribe to the Center’s email list. I know the problem with getting too many emails so if you don’t subscribe, I will understand and the Center won’t bug you again. But I sincerely hope that you will decide to stay connected. Thanks for your past encouragement and your consideration.
