President Harry Truman’s famous saying,“The buck stops here” applies to Project Leaders as well. Here John Stanturf is passing the sawbuck (inflation, remember?) to Scott Goodrick at a gathering in Athens to celebrate the succession. Scott Goodrick has taken over as Project Leader for the Center Forest Disturbance Science. John Stanturf returns to full-time research at CFDS, although he will serve as Acting Project Leader until January 1, 2011 while Scott completes his Executive Leadership training program. In a related move, Yongqiang Liu will assume responsibility as Team Leader for the Atmospheric Science Team in CFDS.
