As you may know, Lucianne Walkowicz has stepped down from the Science Collaboration Coordinator position to become Astrobiology
Chair at the Library of Congress. I am delighted to report that Federica
Bianco of New York University, currently chair of the Transients and Variable Stars science collaboration, has been elected to become the new Science Collaboration Coordinator. As such, she will be the liaison between the science collaborations and the LSST Corporation. Welcome aboard, Federica!
