Well, you sure have a good eye for the interesting science article.

I gotta confess, I went looking for one. I was hoping to find some information about the Mexico meeting. Some heavyweights are/were participants, so whatever comes out of that gathering should be interesting and probably newsworthy to boot.

Are you talking about the May meeting in Acapulco? I think that's what's referenced in the article. I did a Google on the Younger-Dryas Event, found a main article on the cooling period with a link to another article on the Younger Dryas Impact Event. That article referenced the May meeting and included a link to a site with abstracts about the sessions, including one titled "New Insights Into Extraterrestrial Impacts, Younger Dryas Cooling, Mass Extinction, and the Clovis People I" with links to abstracts from 6 papers presented at the session.

Don't know if it will provide any more info than you already have, but impact research is a topic I'm fascinated by.  And Gene Shoemaker is one of my heroes.  I happened to visit Meteor crater only a few weeks after his death and met several people there who had worked with him and knew him well.  They were pleased that someone knew who he was, his connection with Meteor Crater as well as the Apollo program and not just the Shoemaker/Levy 9 comet.
