Libby and all, I'm VERY sorry, but I've had to cancel my attendance at AMIA this year. I thought I'd communicated it to the right people but I hadn't - my fault - so it just came to light a couple of days ago, when I got a note from Dr. Safran. I feel terrible. I was so looking forward to reuniting with last year's panel plus Sally!
