Hi Howard,

I just received the email below.  They want to feature our APL paper onflow focusing as a highly cited article.  Cool!  I will be happy to put together the responses they want, but do you have anything you want to include?

I hope you are well.  I don't suppose you have had a chance to look over the manuscript draft that I sent?  I just wanted to mention again that I would greatly appreciate any comments you might have.

Best,
Shelley
