Hello, everyone, Some time back when I met Janet Levine's husband Ethan at a meeting, I learned that he is the head of an organization that manages astronomical observatories for a coalition of universities. Here's a press release that I found on the web telling about his job. This is pretty cool.

On October 22nd, at the conclusion of the Annual Meeting of the Board of Trustees of Associated Universities, Inc., Dr. Ethan J. Schreier formally assumed his responsibilities as President of the corporation. Dr. Schreier was selected in the Spring of this year (see http://www.aui.edu/press/2004may03.html) to be successor to Dr. Riccardo Giacconi, who retired from the presidency after having served as President for more than five years. Associated Universities, Inc. (AUI) is headquartered in Washington, DC, and operates the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) under a cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation. Dr. Schreier has been a member of the AUI Corporate Staff since November, 2001, while on leave from the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, MD, most recently serving as AUI's Executive Vice President. Dr. Schreier and his wife, Dr. Janet Levine, reside in Baltimore. Prof. H. Warren Moos, Gerhard H. Dieke Professor of Physics and Astronomy at The Johns Hopkins University, who assumed the Chairmanship of the AUI Board of Trustees at the conclusion of the Annual Meeting, expressed the Board's appreciation for Dr. Giacconi's leadership and vision as President and also acknowledged the Board's gratitude to Prof. Martha P. Haynes, Goldwin Smith Professor of Astronomy at Cornell University, who concluded four years of service as the AUI Board Chair. Dr. Schreier expressed his sincere thanks to his predecessor and to the outgoing Chair who helped NRAO get started constructing its new flagship facilities -- the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) and the Expanded Very Large Array (EVLA) -- even as it was completing the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT). He added that he is looking forward to working with the Board and its new Chair, with the National Science Foundation, and with the entire NRAO staff in successfully completing and operating these new facilities for the astronomy community. -- Emil Volcheck [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://acm.org/~volcheck _______________________________________________ Chat mailing list Chat@charlesvillage.info http://charlesvillage.info/mailman/listinfo/chat_charlesvillage.info
