DR. WEBB:  Before we get started in this session, just to remind you that your parking is complimentary.  Show your badge, and if your badge doesn’t work you better run back up and get the codes that in the back.  This morning’s final thrust is towards the human side of our work, and our first speaker is Dr. John Babish.  He is formerly a professor of toxicology -- I don’t know why he got fired -- at Cornell University.
  (Laughter.)
  
He was formerly the northeastern regional coordinator of NRSP-7.  I don’t know why he got fired from that either.  However, we did hire him back as the national coordinator a few years ago, so obviously he has been forgiven.  Since 1996 he has been consulting with development and application of bioinfomatic technology for pharmaceutical and food industries, and with that I would welcome John.
