A Message from the President
Bulletin Toni Ziegler - Executive Secretary Volume 27, Number 1 March 2003 A Message from the President... “Now, when they come down to Canada Scarcely ‘bout half a year. .” Bob Dylan, “Canadee-i-o”, 1992 Annual Meeting in Calgary, August 2003 As usual, Dylan is right on the mark with his lyrics, since we are now fast approaching the 6-month mark to our annual meeting in Calgary, Alberta. By the time you receive this newsletter, abstracts will have been received and the scientific review will be underway by Marilyn Norconk and the rest of the program committee. This committee has already guaranteed a scientifically stimulating conference by arranging for invited presentations by Suzette Tardif, Linda Fedigan, Amy Vedder, and the receipient of the 2002 Distinguished Primatologist Award, Andy Hendrickx. The late meeting date (31 July – 2 August 2003) presumably allowed each of us to collect that last bit of crucial data needed for our abstracts! I look forward to hearing from all of you about the latest advances in primatology in disciplines ranging from anthropology to zoology, and having my students tell you about our recent research endeavors.
