Help please!
The difficulty with interdisciplinary conferences is in ensuring that
information about the conference reaches the majority of potential
participants, in their diverse disciplinary and occupational
enclaves..... Please help by forwarding the above web address to
anyone you know who is not on this discussion list, and who may be
interested in the conference. Thank you.
