AOCS Phospholipid Division
Newsletter April 2008

Greetings from the Chair
Jonathan Maynes

As you are all aware, the AOCS Annual Meeting is fast approaching. Along with the opportunity to network and renew acquaintances comes the opportunity for continuing personal and professional education. Also it is a wonderful opportunity to get involved and help promote the organizations that matter to you! Any organization requires input and effort from all its members, and the Phospholipid Division is no exception. Division meetings include a roundtable discussion where member input is sought and appreciated. As you attend the meeting this year (or think about attending), if you have suggestions or critiques about what could be done better, please contact any of the division officers.

In this issue you will find several recent references to lecithin and health, an announcement about a German prize for post graduate work in lecithin in honor of Hermann Pardun, and information about the ILPS short course at Ghent. Enjoy.

I look forward to seeing you in Seattle.

—Jonathan
