To help serve your needs, we've decided to divide each issue into a variety of sections or departments. What's New, a brief descriptive summary of the contents, will open each issue. A Commentary, a bylined essay with a point of view, will follow. Our Report on Reports section will summarise the results of recent ICTP workshops and conferences, while our Profile section will present brief portraits of ICTP scientists and support staff. And, on the back page, we'll provide quick references on how to contact us through fax, e-mail and the Internet.
Teamwork is critical to the success of any publication.
So I'm delighted to let you know that we have an excellent editorial team. I will serve as the newsletter's editor, having recently joined the ICTP as its Communications Director. I come to the Centre via The University of Tennessee and Tennessee Valley Authority in Knoxville, Tennessee, USA, where I was a science writer and editor for the past 15 years. We'll be working hard on News from ICTP, but we won't be able to do the job alone. That's why we're asking for your help.
