[Air-L] 2013 Steve Jones Internet Research Lecture Series Features Jeremy Silver

[Steve Jones]

I'll hope some of you on air-l can make it to this lecture/dialogue and I hope to see some familiar faces (and/or email addresses) at ICA. Please stop by and say hello. Let me also take the opportunity to thank Shing-Ling Sarina Chen for her help and work each year organizing this lecture series, which, if I am not mistaken, is entering its tenth year.

Best wishes,

Steve
