March 13 Meeting

Thanks to everyone for making the March 13th meeting so successful. Again, we had an excellent set of papers and very helpful discussants. The presenters found the discussion highly useful in taking their work forward and dealing with those troublesome reviewers. The next meeting will be held in London on May 15th. I will be posting details soon, but in the meanwhile pencil this date in, and let me know if you would like to present.

As usual, I am posting a few pictures from the meeting - Kamal
