[EMP2012] [Fwd: AGU Abstract - Poster 3 - "Vision"]

[Jay Pasachoff]

11:38 am EDT, from NY

I am available to be in the telcon if you let me know when and what telephone number and code.

I am adding some punctuation into the abstract draft below.  Also, I'm changing the hyphens to dashes two places and moving the period inside the close quote marks to match American grammar/style.  I hyphenated the compound adjective in "citizen-science project."

What's the author list?

Jay
