decimation: In addition, NASA?s Guhathakurta pointed
to a core philosophical
theme, about
the connections among
the building blocks of
the universe and
their connection
to human beings. ?People will have now seen it with
their own eyes,? she said. ?And
they will see
that at a very deep level ? a molecular level, really ? we are all connected
to each other.?

the problems in
the Heliophysics Division are dominated by
the continuing actions of Dr. Madhulika Guhathakurta,? Chenette wrote. ?By her actions she chooses not
