<div>Dear Colleagues,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Warm greetings from Laos, where I’m having a wonderful - if way too brief - fieldwork trip.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’m just writing to check if any others are thinking of putting in an abstract for SEALS this year (to be held in Padang, Indonesia, May 11-13, <a href="http://jakarta.shh.mpg.de/seals27/index.html">http://jakarta.shh.mpg.de/seals27/index.html</a>). If
so, it would be fun to put together a panel (or possibly even a workshop if there are more than a few of us).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you’re thinking about going, please do shoot a reply to the list (or to me personally if you prefer) over the next few days (say by Thursday 26th Jan). No need to send your abstract yet, but a rough idea of your topic would be great if poss.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If we have enough interest, I'll get in touch with Paul Sidwell (I’ve already mooted the idea informally with him) to see if we can go ahead. If not this time, then I do hope we can make another plan sometime soon.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Warmest and best to all,</div>
<div>Nerida</div>
