Based on the voting for WALs nominations via lambda lunch, we will send
in nominations of the following people (in alphabetical order):

Carlos Bustamante

Emmanuelle Charpentier

Rob Knight

Sarkis Mazmanian

Julie Theriot

Votes were fairly spread out; if you would like to nominate someone
else, please go ahead and do that.  You can say that the candidate will
be of interest to members of the Lambda Lunch interest group just do
not say that they were a top vote getter.  All nominations are due Jan.
