12/4/20: Back to the routine ... plus videos!

       

 Agenda and Minutes

1. Status updates. RS confirmed with the journal that the paper is submitted as it should appear. VJRB is planning to submit his proposal right after break, and DB, RS and HA all are available to help coach him on the proposal over break. Let us plan to meet on Th Dec. 24 and Th Dec. 31 at noon instead of Fridays, since the Fridays are Christmas and New Year. PT just uploaded his thesis to ProQuest. People agree that a paper is a good and hoped-for next step.
