Subject: [Research] lab meeting on Thursday Dec 6th at noon

Hello,
In some countries, December 6th is celebrated as St. Nicholas' day.
St. Nick is a useful fellow as he brings each child a little something 
on that day
(it's just a teaser, they get much much more stuff for Christmas). We 
are in luck
this year as our little something will be an enlightening presentation 
by  Brent titled
"How far is the nearest coffee shop?". Does it sound as provocative to 
you as
it does to me? Hope to see you all on Thursday!
Artur
PS Food will be provided. The time is noon. The place is probably NSH 1507
Karen  (BTW, have you all met her already? If you have not please make a 
stop
at NSH 3128 to introduce yourself when you have a chance) will let us 
know if
we'd have to go someplace else.
