Thank you Heather, you echo my sentiments exactly. This is a time for grief, not for academic musings and promotion. I send my thoughts and love to everyone affected by this horrific event.

I would like to think that the list is also a space where we can send our thoughts and sympathies to our friends and colleagues at this terrible point in time.
