From time to time I receive (or distribute) flyers, e-mail messages, etc., that contain science-related information or events that may be of interest to some of our LSD staff.  If they don't fit any of the other bulleted categories on our ElSci web site, I'll post the information here in reverse chronological order (i.e., so that the most recently received information will appear at the top of the list).  If you have ideas for how we might better share this information, organize this page, or have items that you would like to see included on it, please let me know.  Thanks!
