BTW now that Alex is at Colorado State, and Kim Whitehall is back at Howard, that definitely increases diversity :) Just thought of that, and in terms of the PPMC, we certainly have it there too, so just food for thought. I don't think we have a diversity issue, I'm more concerned with 0.2-incubating and the VP candidate.
