Update (see original announcement below)
Time 6:30 to about 8   PM

The building is partially locked at night.   The doors at the end closer to Main St.  and the doors on back courtyard that faces other MIT buildings are the ones that are likely to be open.  If you have any problems call my cell phone  617-230-9505.

The other complication is the building is divided into 4 sections. It's one big lobby but you need to find the elevators for the D section to get to Lingustics student lounge.  The D section is near the daycare center farthest from Main St.

As part of the low key effort to revive Science for the People, Julie Geredien and several others will be meeting in Amherst about adding new material to the website that was originally set up for the conference last spring.

We just had a minor change in plans and she will be in Boston this Thursday evening.

In parallel to this there has been a group meeting at MIT as a follow up to the events we had last semester.


We decided to take advantage of Julie's visit to have a chance for people to meet each other and have an informal conversation about these varying efforts.

It’s in the MIT Linguistics Department Student Lounge on the 4th floor of the D section of the Stata Center at MIT (32 Vassar St, Cambridge).
