Title: Message
Dear Friends of Ichnology,
With your
help, Alfred Uchman and I are planning to get the Newsletter back on a winter
schedule this year. Accordingly, the final
deadline for contributions of manuscripts, current activities, changes of
address, etc. is JANUARY 10, 2003.
There is NO CHARGE for including your
information in the Newsletter: In effect, it's free publicity for your research.
Subscriptions, as usual, are handled by Prof.
Alfred Uchman (fred@ing.uj.edu.pl).
Here's how YOU can
be involved!
1. Has your contact
information (address, phone, email, website) changed in the past year? Please
let us know!
2. Could you please
write up a short (1-2 paragraphs), informal summary of your current
ichno-activities? ("Current" = 2003-04.) Also write about your students' current
projects, or if you like, ask them to contribute separately. Do you want to send
graphics? They are welcome, but please test them on a photocopier
first.
3. Please also send
your ichno-related bibliography, especially recent material. We work for
reprints! We will keyword them for the annual instalment of the
Bibliographia Ichnologica.
4. We can also use
articles of a topical nature, that is, current news, announcements of new books
and meetings, reports and reviews of conferences, book and media reviews; park
and museum reviews. Also interviews of ichnologists; websites; reminiscences and
history; art, cartoons, humor, stories; honors and new jobs; beautiful or
instructive or intriguing pictures of traces; location of type specimens. Material on ALL aspects of ichnology is appropriate:
bioturbation and bioerosion; invertebrate, vertebrate, and plant; modern,
fossil, and archaeologic; geologic and biologic. Anything ichnologic that
is NEWS. If you have an idea you'd like to pursue, please contact Alfred
(fred@ing.uj.edu.pl) or me (arindsberg@gsa.state.al.us).
Thanks!
Alas, we are still
stuck in the Paper Epoch but are moving gradually into the Electrozoic. Authors
of INews articles, past and present, will be supplied with pdf files of
their work.
One
ichnology!
