I will be moderating a panel debate on GMO which should be very exciting.

You can register for one day or the entire weekend. There is also a comedy show Friday night, stimulus response, in which, apparently, I will be skewered by a professional improv comedy group. (They did my brother Jay last year and it was hilarious &#8211; so he made sure I got payback this year.)<\/p>\n<p>Please come up and say hi if you will be at NECSS.
