[ACT-R-users] Franklin Symposium, April 28, in Philadelphia

[Dario Salvucci]

Fyi, the symposium in honor of John's Benjamin Franklin Medal will be next Thursday, April 28, at Drexel University in Philadelphia. The symposium is free and open to the public, and will have talks by three distinguished speakers. I've heard that a few nearby ACT-R folks are planning to attend, so I'm broadcasting this in case others are interested. (We hope to have it recorded and streamable after the event as well.)
