Update

Dear All:

I sent you my half birthday request and clearly my gift of persuasion is unsurpassed. Since that request Dr. Eric Goosby has decided to join us this Oct. 1-2, 2009. Some may say it was Drs. Walker and Essex (they really did) who used their verbal prowess to entice the Ambassador to speak, but we will know.

If you or your colleagues have not done so there is still time to register and hear some of the hottest names in the field share their insight.

Come and check out:David Bangsberg, Kenneth Mayer, Gail Wyatt, Thomas Coates*, and a few hundred of my closest friends gathered in the same place for a couple of days sharing the latest and greatest news in the field.

So if you have not already done so register today for the *SBSRN* Conference at the link below:

Be sure to make your reservations at the Brookline Courtyard Marriott :

It is important to note that normally I send out my half birthday request only to close personal friends. *You* see where I am *going *with this* right*?

If you have any questions, comments, concerns please feel free to call or email me at 215-746-7352 or tybrown@mail.med.upenn.edu
