Well, we are getting so close to one of our best samples ever that we are extending the deadline THROUGH SEPT. 30.

<P>Dear All,</P>
<P>Katie thanks for your comments ... and hi from Oombulgurri where a hotspot occasionally gives me a small window on the world. I was very sorry to miss the conference - it sounds like it was fantastic! My congratulations also to everyone concerned - I echo the thanks to Anne, Lauren and AJ.</P>
<P>I look forward to hearing more when I get back to Perth prior to my departure for Broome - I am out of the loop of the discipline legitimation debate but certainly want to sincerely thank Katie and Di Costello for their legacy at Notre Dame.</P>
<P>When I joined UNDA as Head of Behavioural Science all the groundwork for the degree was in place and I was gifted the opportunity to continue to develop the degree I wish had been available when I was studying. So thanks for your foresight!</P>
<P>Hope this finds you all well. Please feel free to come and see me in Broome. Cheers,</P>
