[Sci-tech-public] Upcoming STS Special Events

[David Mindell]

Hello all, and welcome to the snowy/rainy February. I want to draw your
attention to a number of STS events this month, some of which have not yet
been otherwise announced, some of which are part of the "Subway Series" with
Harvard, and some of which are part of the MIT150th. It should be a
stimulating month, and then it will be spring ;)

 

Please do join us,

 

David
