<blockquote type="cite" cite> </blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>We have tried to schedule the talks to
take place about once a week this term; most will occur on Monday
afternoons from 4-5 pm. Please note, however, that because of Monday
holidays and in some cases speaker availability, a few of the
scheduled talks are on alternative days/times. Room numbers will be
announced closer to the actual date. Light refreshments will be
provided, courtesy of BCS, McGovern and Picower.</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite> </blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>We request that you register for each
session that you will attend so we know how many people to expect.
Looking forward to seeing you!<br>
