Young Forensic Scientists Forum Newsletter - January 2000 Editor's Notes |
| HAPPY NEW MILLENNIUM!!! I hope everyone survived the New Year’s festivities! The new millennium heralds all kinds of opportunities, among them the opportunity for the next generation of forensic scientists to make their mark on history. The YFSF is proud to be a part of this up-and-coming group of scientists and hopes that its efforts will continue to have a positive impact on the evolution of forensics during this exciting time. The YFSF has been very busy lately. Of note, are the efforts to create a Time Capsule at the AAFS Annual Meeting in Reno, NV in February. Ideas are still being accepted for this capsule and the YFSF needs your help! More details are available in this newsletter. The YFSF will, of course, be hosting its Breakfast Meeting and Special Session at the AAFS Annual Meeting in Reno. Check out the Web site for specific dates and times. In addition, this year a YFSF BYOS session will be added. All new forensic scientists attending the meeting are encouraged to participate! The YFSF Bylaws have been a year in the making. During the Annual Meeting in Reno final revisions will be made to the proposed bylaws for presentation to the AAFS. It is very exciting to be moving forward with this task. The YFSF Web site is up and running at its new location: www.aafs.org/yfsf/index.htm. Though it seems that no one has had trouble finding it. Hundreds of e-mails have been received from students and scientists all over the world responding to the Web site! As more questions and comments poor in, improvements are being made to provide the information people need. If you have ideas please send an e-mail or send in an order form from the Web site! I would like to thank those who contributed to this issue of the newsletter. There are just too many articles to review in this small space, but don’t miss any of them! As always, we want your articles, comments, suggestions, and experiences. If you would like to contribute to the YFSF Newsletter, please contact Carrie at cmweiler@eskimo.com. |
