     Sorry to here this .Tim Osborn from the Climatic Research Unit also applied but
     unsuccessfully - really seems to me that there should be some disquiet about this
     process  ( lack of widespread notification, obscure basis of selection criteria, and
     subsequent exclusion of non-participants from funding eligibility).
     What do others think?

     Dear Colleagues,
     This message is only of relevance to colleagues in the UK.
     Those who have been selected to attend the NERC Quantifying Uncertainty
     Sandpit should have had notification today.  Unfortunately, I am not on
     to the list.  Did any of you get a place?  If so, would you be prepared
     to "carry the SUPRAnet flag"?
     Best wishes
     Caitlin

".....I have wondered about trees.

They are sensitive to light, to moisture, to wind, to pressure.
Sensitivity implies sensation. Might a man feel into the soul of a tree
for these sensations? If a tree were capable of awareness, this faculty
might prove useful. "

"The Miracle Workers" by Jack Vance
