[Scott Jackson (sjackzen46]

Here are some nooners for the perpetually curious from UMinn's Institute on
the Environment. I apologize for not getting this to you before the first
presentation. If anyone is so moved by a topic to drive to the St. Paul
campus and would appreciate a convivial companion, please let me know.
Thanks.
