Eric- Thanks for the plug about our Expedition Medicine Conference that will be September 2-6, 2008 in Washington, DC. We’ve recruited an incredible faculty. We’re offering discounts to anyone who registers prior to April 15th. We’ve made some changes to the site in the past couple of days so it might be a little tweaked since you were there last. Many thanks once again.
