Subject: Re: [SIGCIS-Members] Eden Medina makes the New York Times - congratulations!
How terrific! I also like that the (1960s era, British) term "white heat" was used to describe "21st c. Technology."
One quibble: shouldn't they have referred to you as Dr. or Prof. Medina, rather than Ms.? Or is that how the NYT always does things?
Congrats again!
Marie
