Publicity

(2012-10-18) I gave a talk at our college's Edison Lecture Series. Video of the presentation will eventually be available to local Time Warner customers via their "Carolina On Demand" channel. A few short clips of my talk also appeared on the local NBC affiliate's newscast, sandwiched between stories about an earthquake drill at a school and a square-dancing club for senior citizens.
