Re: VMs: Introduction

[Luis Velez <luis.velez@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Welcome, Walter and the rest of the newcomers,

There is a lot of potential for fascinating research, whether by 
teamwork or
by individual effort, and any new contributions are always greatly 
appreciated by those interested in this subject.

As for plants, Walter, I think Dana Scott and Philip Neal will be 
particularly helpful to you in providing hints for new avenues for 
research. There are other experts in this list, but Dana and Philip's 
work is especially impressive.

Best regards,
