[Sigmet-officers] the spatial metrics panel

[Smalheiser, Neil R]

If we are covering Science Metrics, then I can see an application of spatial metrics to understanding how scientists work, e.g. in their geographical proximity within a building or within a city, etc. So the perspective they give could potentially be a new way to analyze scientific work. As for whether we should have a SIG MET representative on their panel, they did offer to add one, although I can't think who we would suggest. I think the question is, do we gain more or lose more from co-endorsing the panel? Personally, I think we might gain more from opening up divergent ideas. But if all other officers are negative, I will tell them "no", of course. - Neil
