<p>Same for me, another past Secretary General (who helped organize
the 2008 CODATA Conference and General Assembly in Kiev). We very
much hope that all data scientists, experts, and students in the
Ukraine, and their colleagues and families, remain safe, and that
this terrible situation ends soon. <br>
