Dear all,
I'd like to thank each of you for contributing to the BICEP2 and Keck
Array collaboration meeting. Last week turned out to be a difficult one
here in Boston, and the effort you all put into preparing substantive
discussions, and the flexibility shown, particularly with our
mega-telecon during Friday's lockdown, contributed to a very effective
meeting nonetheless. I think huge progress for BICEP2 analysis and Keck
planning has come out of what we reviewed.
Thanks to all of you who led discussions and who took notes, and
particularly to Immanuel for keeping track of the agenda and schedule
and to Kirit and Jon for setting up the google hangout.
Two people deserve special thanks, and Friday didn't give us a proper
chance to do so in person:
Irene Coyle, our Harvard group administrator, ran the meeting logistics
beautifully, making sure everyone was housed, seated, fed, and
caffeinated at all times.
Sam Harrison, our engineer extraordinaire, set up the room, computers,
wireless, phones, and photos. Sam had postponed the start date of his
(very exciting) new position with Draper Labs just to be with us through
last week's meeting.
Please join with me in thanking Irene and Sam, and in wishing Sam the
best of luck in his new position!
John
