Hi Pam
Missed the boat on this one - have already done psci com.
What an interesting time to be in the States! Hope you are having a good time.
Best wishes,

I am in the US for the Society of Women Engineers conference --
always a mega event.
I had made a mental note to put on Daphnet the "Equal Pay Day" aka
women work for free from now on until the end of the year. I usually
try to say something like "you may not think it applies to you but
(a) actually it might and (b) we should object on others' behalf anyway.
So I thought you might like to repeat your message to Psi-Com, maybe
hammed up a bit. It is good to be told the same thing from a slightly
different angle.
Cheers
Pam
