Wake up people - times are changing - look at all these new small companies trying to stick their noses in "our" field! From: J. Paul Robinson <j..._at_flowcyt.cyto.purdue.edu> Date: Fri Dec 28 2007 - 13:43:46 EST Beware, the end is nigh! No, not an apocalyptic prediction - but 2007 is definitely coming to an end. Not before time I would say - it s been a busy year. But I have some strong words to end the year and I am going to say them!! Of course you don t have to read them! Cytometry is now 40 years old and it s been sort of decaying a bit. What do I mean? I am amazed at how conservative and frankly boring the field has become. Why? It s time to move to the 21st century folks. I'm getting older and frankly, its time to kick some butt as my younger colleagues often say. We talk so much like it is the same old cytometry it has always been. Wake up people - times are changing - look at all these new small companies trying to stick their noses in "our" field! True we need to do the core work and do it well, but lets not forget that fundamental tools of cell analysis are changing and if we don't keep ourselves up-to-date and educated on what's happening....before we know it, a new field will emerge and we will be like the old electron microscopists who are still wondering what happened ...... I know most of us work in the field and like what we do, but I think its time to open up a little and try to do some serious integration of our field. It s not happening very effectively on the most part I would say. Cytometry is about integration of the tools of the field into the vast reaches of biological problems that we can contribute to solving. Cytometry is about advancement of the field, that means always looking ahead. ISAC will soon be the International Society for Advancement of Cytometry a 21st century Society not a 20th century Society. Cytometry is not flow cytometry!! Let s not kid ourselves about this folks. Cytometry is about measuring cells - however you do it - and flow cytometry is just one component of many. I understand that it may be the only tool some of you use - I don t want to take away from that or de- emphasize its value or importance. But, we so often hear people talk about our field only in context of just flow cytometry. Recently, when we polled the ISAC community on changing our name from "analytical Cytology" to Advancement of Cytometry" we received comments like "hey I don t do flow cytometry, so why are you reducing the breadth of the field?" Ouch - they think "cytometry" means "flow cytometry". We have a long way to go before we convince the community that we cover all aspects of cytometry. And let s also remember the growing membership in India and China (that s half the worlds population right there) it s high time we paid much more attention to these countries as a field. Awtar Krishan can t be the only person to drive cytometry training and education for 1.2 billion Indians can he? Well he has been up to now. Who is taking on the mantle of training and education of cytometry in China? So here's the scoop. That's one of the reasons why the Purdue Web portal is going to change. We tried to make the change this past year, but there were too many other things happening here to achieve it. But come middle of 2008, I am resolved that you will see a huge difference in the Purdue site. It s been the default cytometry communication portal now for many, many years. We have focused on good clean fun with cytometry - quality, timely, simple - no spam. Many people like that actually. The portal is almost overwhelming for us 22,000 daily page requests with over 2 Gigs daily download. In 2007 alone, downloads of 208,000 powerpoint files, 233,000 PDF files, 8800 movies, 38,000 word do***ent files. The education pages and the Cytometry Discussion Archive are the most hit for sure. Over 125,000 distinct files from our portal were accessed in 2007. But all good things must come to an end. Come July 2008, the usual Purdue web portal may well be no more. It will be replaced with something entirely new. Hopefully most will find it more useful and relevant - some will not like it. Maybe we will be able to make everyone happy....ha!..C'est la vie. Some of you will be beta testers and advisers I hope. So my best wishes to all in the cytometry field for 2008. Regarding the past year on the discussion list, its been lively, with an average of 7 messages per day with 754 different individuals submitting at least one message. 139 messages had at least 6 responses. There were 1205 unique subject lines. Subscribers came from 64 top level domains. The usual bunch of suspects answered lots of messages and Marty Bigos seems to have too much time as he answered the most (thanks Marty!!). Tragically, the second most prolific responder was Randy Fisher who p***ed away on December 5. Randy's responses were always short, to the point and accurate. It hurts to lose one of our own, particularly when it's one of our most active members. But that s the point isn't it. For many years to come, we have the value of Randy's hundreds of suggestions over the years archived for the many new people who enter our field. Many of you probably never actually met Randy - but I bet most of you feel you knew him. One of the mysteries of the web I suppose. Our condolences to Randy's family - perhaps they didn't know how many people knew Randy "electronically" - but we all did. You know we are a small field when it comes to the big world of science so when we lose one person, the entire field morns. To end 2007, let me make a big plug for a program we began at the 2006 ISAC congress. Gary Durack from iCyt and myself started a small not- for-profit charity called "Cytometry for Life" in response to Stephen Lewis' compelling plea for some low cost CD4 devices. Our field has done a lot of talking about this, but only a few people have really tried to do anything practical. Well, folks we have all been doing cytometry for a very long time - it's time to do something. "Cytometry for life" (http://www.cytometryforlife.org) is working hard. We have made tremendous progress in just one year. It would be great if you all decided to jump on board and play a small part. You can give money, advice, moral support, talk to your politicians, community healthcare, charities, whatever. But get involved as be recognized as the cytometry community to solve this problem of bringing low cost, portable devices to the 65% or more of African's who don t live in the cities and towns where current CD4 technologies are available. Our goal is to work in areas not being served by current technologies. We have heard these calls before, but folks we have to deal with this problem - it's your problem if you call yourself a "cytometry" person. Email me if you can help - consider donating to the program, let's make it work. By the end of 2008, I want to be telling you that the program is getting to people who need this desperately. Help us achieve that for 2008. I hope many of you got hold of a copy of our new double DVD set Cytometry 60 years of Innovation if not ask your local rep from virtually any company in our field. It might give you a good sense of how strong the foundation in our field really is. I will see many of you at the 2008 congress in Budapest. I know some of you think its going to be expensive so I took several hours myself and created a webpage for the cheap ones out there so you have no excuses not to go... (http:// www.cyto.purdue.edu/flowcyt/cheapflights1.htm). It's been a privilege to serve for the past 19 months as President of ISAC. I will gladly p*** that hat to Bob Murphy in May. ISAC is alive and well - membership is growing daily. I would not be surprised to see us top 2000 by the end of the Congress in May. I know that about 60% of the members of this list are NOT ISAC members. Perhaps you should consider joining the Society that keeps many of you in business? http://www.isac-net.org/ My best wishes for you all in 2008 from Purdue Paul -- J.
