Cool people, shared interests

Folks:

Nice responses on the "partner portraits"! I'm posting a chart I made just to help myself recognize various persons' shared interests. By all means read these offer, click on the links, and think about ways in which one or more of your own interests might overlap or collaborate with those of colleagues. Remember that you are very free (in fact very much encouraged) to collaborate, share interests, combine research or performance presentations, and so on. Let me urge you to be in touch with one another and help one another brainstorm ideas.

The chart's below. Am also posting to WebCT (look under "Materials - Week 02 - Links") so you can download if you wish to do so.

Slan.
