Thursday morning; Opening ceremony With more than 800 participants, some 380 paper submissions, and multiple parallel sessions, this year’s INS summer meeting was the largest yet. INS summer meetings declined in size and content during the 90’s. The reversal of this trend began with the successful meeting in 2002 in Stockholm, and with this excellent meeting organized by the GNP the future looks brighter again. (See you in Dublin in 2005!)
