Greg, Under your thoughtful and gentle leadership, so many of us have learned so much, not only about software and data, but about working together in an extraordinary global community.
Your gift to me, to us, to science is very great. I, for one, make this pledge as an expression of gratitude for your good work: I will do what I can, in whatever small way, to make your efforts lasting, sustainable, agile enough to adapt to changing circumstances, and an ongoing positive force for science and society. It’s the least I owe you!!
