Forwarded messages from Joel: Dear all, Thanks a lot for the people who came to my previous practice talks, and sorry for the last minute cancellations. These rehearsals helped me quite a lot for the actual interview! I haven't practiced my second talk, which is a research proposal talk, and I thought it would help me to do it at least once in front of you. Due to the lack of time, I need to do my practice talk tomorrow Monday (MLK holiday). If you are able to show up in the department at 4 pm, we'll congregate in the Division Room if it's not being used. If it is, we'll try to find somewhere else in Mallinckrodt. Please let me know if you can make it. Many thanks. And I won't cancel this time! -- Joel Yuen-Zhou, PhD Center of Excitonics, Robert J.
