Conference Wrap-Up
The Museum of Paleontology at UC Berkeley hosted NAPC 2001 for US, Canadian,
and Mexican colleagues from June 26-July 1, 2001. NAPC 2001 was the seventh
meeting of the North American Paleontology Conference, continuing a tradition
that began in 1969 at Chicago. Sponsored by the Association of North American
Paleontological Societies (ANAPS), NAPC 2001 offered organized invited
symposia and theme sessions, volunteered contributed papers, posters,
workshops, field trips, a special session on preserving fossils from public
lands, and tourist excursions. A conference schedule and abstracts
are still available on the technical program
pages.
Many thanks to all who participated!

The National Science Foundation generously supplied
funding for students and young professionals from the US, Mexico and
eastern European countries. Jere Lipps (R) tried to collect from Geology
and Paleontology Program Manager Rich Lane (L) while Ellis Yochelson
encouraged the transaction! |

Between sessions, attendees browsed through an excellent
selection of posters... |

...relaxed on the grounds of the Clark Kerr campus... |
|
...and enjoyed the fine cuisine. |

Pete Palmer donned proper paleontology attire for
the occasion. |
