Scientists in Open Space

[Suzanne Daigle]

Oh everyone, this has been such a delight!  I will not be demure or
reserved. I just simply have to say how much I love and appreciate this
community.  Each morsel of advice I will treasure and re-read knowing that
"whatever happens happens" which I really already knew but to be reminded of
it here and to hear about your experiences, tips, tools and insights, well
what a gift.  Thank you not just for me but most especially for this group
of scientists and others who I hope will soon meet in Open Space to engage
and connect on their passion and what brought them to science in the first
place: to create, discover and make a difference!

And yes Andrew (and everyone else), yes indeed it all helps!  Suzanne
