LUNCHTIME DISCUSSION TALKS - 2003

The CIMMS lunchtime discussion meetings, which take place every other Thursday, will host relatively informal talks, sometimes about work in progress.

These meetings will be held in Room 114 Steele (Reading Room) at noon, with a light lunch served, compliments of CIMMS.

After a few short organizational items, the talk and discussion will begin.
