[Face-research-list] Building bridges

Tue Mar 1 20:13:00 GMT 2011

Thanks Peter for setting up this list.
I do hope the list grows to a size where it will soon be impractical to have
everyone introduce themselves. Maybe we need a web page that goes with this
list where everyone can edit their profile (From an editor's point of view,
that would be great!)

What I *really* hope is that the list can be used to build some bridges
between people who are interested in face processing on both sides of the
Altantic. I had the great pleasure of meeting some of my UK colleagues
recently in Cardiff, and seems we (and our students) have a lot to gain from
better efforts to understand each other's work and find opportunities to
interact and even collaborate.
