Our Annual Scientific Retreat for 2002 was held from August 2-4 at the MacMullan Conference Center in Roscommon, MI. The weather was great, we had lots of fun (some of the photos in our Picture Gallery are from this Retreat), and the presentations by fellows in the research phase of their training were enlightening. The research presentations included the following:
