Here is a draft agenda. The emphasis is intended to be on discussion - only brief presentations (the time listed is an upper limit - maybe we should ban powerpoint viewgraphs with words on them, only allow figures and equations!). We will feel free to modify the agenda as things progress. Location: UC Santa Cruz Interdisciplinary Sciences Building room 102 (go to CfAO and get directions.
