MAMLS Meeting in honor of Gregory Cherlin's 60th Birthday

The Fall 2008 MAMLS Meeting will be held at Rutgers University, Oct 24-26, beginning with the Friday Departmental Colloquium. The invited speakers are John Baldwin, Zoe Chatzidakis, Lou van den Dries, Ehud Hrushovski, Eric Jaligot, Angus Macintyre, Bruno Poizat, Saharon Shelah, Alex Wilkie and Boris Zilber.

The lectures will take place in Room 705 in Hill Center on Busch Campus. Once you reach downtown New Brunswick, you can get to Hill Center by taxi in 10 minutes for approximately $10.00, or by a FREE campus bus in about 10-20 minutes. To reach a campus bus stop from the train station at Albany and Easton, walk uphill on Easton Ave. and turn right onto Hamilton Street at the second traffic light. Walk one block and you will see the campus bus shelter on your left. Take an "A", or "H" bus marked to Busch Campus and get off at the Hill Center.
