an evaluation of the state’s tobacco cessation efforts for special populations. Also, joining us last year is Dr. Christopher Diaz. Though most recently of the Florida Legislative Research Service, Dr. Diaz has roots south of us (Texas); he received his Ph.D. from Texas A&M. Dr. Diaz has been busy with a few projects for area nonprofits and work with area local governments. Both Dr. Diaz and Dr. Seo are tremendous assets to the Institute and we are fortunate to have them with us.
