South Africa 2008






Thursday was a very full day with the symposium dedicated in honor of Professor Andrew Spielman, from the Harvard School of Public Health, who passed away in 2006. I received input from several colleagues, esp. Rich Pollack, and Andy's wife Judy (married 51 years) and daughter Sue. Contributions can be made to the Andrew Spielman Memorial Fund at Harvard, which honors him with student support for field research travel and a symposium (http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/spielman/donate-now/). The symposium was co-organized with Andrew Li and Laura Fielden, who were not able to attend the Congress. My former graduate student Deborah Jaworski was my co-moderator for some excellent talks on ticks, bed bugs, Rhodnius, mosquitoes and leaf hoppers.
