Program Organizational Issues

Staff know the answers to all questions! Speakers, please give your slides in advance to postdoc

to put on the computer. A microphone is available. The little white slide changer works by rotation!

If you absolutely must use your own computer, please give a copy of your slides to the postdocs, for posting on the web.
