REGISTRATION

To register, please send an e-mail to Alexandra Miller at apmiller@physics.ucsb.edu with your name and affiliation. Registration is free, but participants are responsible for making their own travel arrangements. Speakers are encouraged to leave 5 minutes at the end of their talk for questions. Unfortunately, the room where the conference will be held does not have blackboards, so powerpoint presentations will be preferred. (A small whiteboard will also be made available).
