[Sigsti-l] Fwd: [PAMNET] Reminder - Registration is now open for the first True North Science Boot Camp

[Joe Hourcle]

I thought this might be of interest to people in the list.
(assuming you can get funding for travel ... but remember,
the prices are in *Canadian* dollars.

Of course, I can't quite make jokes about how cheap that
is in US dollars, but it's still about 8-9% off with
today's exchange rate.
