I'd like to hear what happens there (can't afford to go myself), so if
anyone finds a digest of some sort, let me know. I'm particularly
interested in policy issues that might come up. There is a bill " The
Baucus Bill" in Congress that might have direct bearing on the
collection and dissemination of ancient DNA.
