Hi all,

Below is the Title of the Talk and Bio sent from Greg, no information on
the images yet. But since I asked that if he doesn't provide images to us
by Monday, we will assume that he gives us permission to use any image
from his books or his web site. BTW, he is supposedly just coming back
from India today at 1:00, so let's give him some more time, i think all
air traffic is pretty much delayed or postponed these days.


Title of the talk - his suggestion

"On the Surface"


Here is a bio he wrote: (long!)
