Please note: The schedule at **[|schedule]** gives times on Eastern time. Local times will be 3 hours earlier.

Also note: Due to the time zone shift, the video link may not be available for talks before 1:30pm Eastern time (i.e., for the morning session). If someone has great interest in tuning in to a morning talk (early in our time zone!), please contact Don Marolf. It may be possible to make arrangements. || ([|video/audio]) ||
