Brown-bag seminar
Exceptionally, the first seminar will be held in a "brown-bag" format,
with no lunch break between the first and second talks, in order to accomodate
the McGill beginning-of-term party at 4:00 PM. Participants are welcome to bring
their sandwiches to the seminar, and, of course, to come to the beginning-of-term party,
where further nourishment will be provided.
