Hi Corinna,
  Welcome to this very active and enthusiastic group.  I'm looking forward
to chatting with you during one of our meetings and/or during the course of
a project.  I'm looking forward to meeting you during the ESIP Summer
Meeting.  Please let me know if there is anything I can do as Data
Stewardship Committee Chair to foster your research interests.

  Best,
  -Justin
