Thanks for posting this, Steve. I think you meant January 9, 2020 (last Thursday), rather than December 9, 2020. Hopefully, the project will have progressed by then.

Great to see your name on the program, Jane! (I have no idea if she'll see this message.) I look forward to viewing the streamed content. Did anyone else on the Study Committee (including Advisors and Observers) attend?
