<div>Hi everyone,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I wanted to let you know about a program tomorrow (Tuesday) that
is part of MIT's "Big Questions After BIg Hurricanes"
series. The STS Department is hosting "What's So Natural
About Natural Disasters?" and it focuses on the human, social,
and historical aspects of Hurricane Katrina and what we call natural
disasters.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The speakers are Professors David Jones and David Mindell of STS
and Professor Meg Jacobs of the History Department. Professor
Roz Williams will moderate. Enclosed below is more
information.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The program is from 5-7 in the Stata Center's Kirsch Auditorium.
Hope you can make it!</div>
