I "attended" this event and hope some of you did too. It was more presentation and less audience interaction than I'd imagined, but I think it went well. Did you see it?
Good, I am glad you can still fit this into your schedule at this late date. Apologies for the tardy posting, Sonia sent it to me earlier and time got away from me. It's end of semester---nuff said.
cheers,
Laura
I hope they are going to take a look at the hostile atmosphere in Computer Science. I am going to submit a question on that now. Thanks!
Great to know about this in time to join in. I plan to watch it and may send in a question if I have time.
