Dear Colleagues,

I want to share the tremendous news that CBI Research Fellow (& dear friend & close collaborator) Professor Gerardo Con Díaz has recently been promoted to Full Professor and just became the Chair of Science and Technology Studies at UC, Davis!

Additionally, his new book Everyone Breaks These Laws: How Copyright Made the Online World<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300251265/everyone-breaks-these-laws/__;!!BhdT!jBPdA-HCHJHvvZLHRFaHxJ7ihrDBMMJpo5YoA6jRlEZkCjhsIWVYzq3YVRFerdWGhWhWEjMnO_cFkEwSDb8$> was just published (yesterday!) from Yale University Press. I had the pleasure of reading this fascinating and insightful book earlier this year, and the honor, along with distinguished colleagues Prof. Kevin Driscoll and Prof. Ken Alder, of contributing a blurb!

Please join me in congratulating Con!!!

Best, Jeff
