Hi Again,
This is a final reminder about the Thompson Lecture Series that begins
tomorrow morning. The series kicks off with breakfast and a career
discussion at 8:30a in FL2 1002. This will be followed by a group
photo and after a short break, the first seminar (11a) in the main
seminar room in FL2.
Please do not forget to pick a dish to bring to the potluck on
Thursday evening
[https://wiki.ucar.edu/display/aspthompson08/Potluck+dinner+with+Peter+Vitousek].
The remainder of the details can be found below.
See you all tomorrow morning.
Best,
TLS Committee
