Welcoming Remarks

Welcome

This one’s a biggie—ten years. Thank you all again.

Every year we think we are finally in the transition to being helpful on a broad canvas. Maybe this year is “the year”.

Putting our collective dreams aside, we are so fortunate that so many great people have joined us for the weekend. We have old friends and new friends, repeat visitors, and people in the room who seem energized by being here.

Please enjoy the talks and the discussions. Perhaps our odd blend of science and a deep, shared human need will do some good.
