Hi Larry
I also e-mailed some of our Japanese colleagues.
I had a reply from Jiroh Nishi. He said that he, his wife and son were OK. However, there were difficulties with electricity, fuel and food supplies. Therefore e-mail access was intermittent.
I have had no replies from Waka (who, as you say, is in the affected area) or Tomo Miura. The e-mails to Waka and Tomo didn't rebound here.
We must hope that they are OK.
Andy

Subject: [Annelida] our colleagues in Japan
Hi all,
I emailed our polychaete colleague Dr. Waka Sato-Okoshi at Tohoku University, Sendi, Japan yesterday. My email bounced back due to the email server there not responding. An internet link to the university indicates that it is closed until April sometime and all classes and other activities have been cancelled until then. Has anyone heard from Waka or any other of our colleagues in Japan?
Waka attends all the polychaete conferences and I always enjoy seeing her and catching up. Since she lives in Sendi, I am especially concerned about the safety of Waka and her family. If anyone has any information, please send it to me at llovell from lacsd.org.
Thank you,
Larry
