[Pl-seminar] PL seminar schedule

[Aaron Turon]

UPDATE:

Due to expected winter weather that may disrupt travel on Wednesday,
we are attempting to move the talk to TUESDAY 1/11 at 3:30.  I will
send another email once the location has been confirmed.

Those who've requested a meeting with Dave: he will still be available
both Tues and Weds, weather permitting, and I will send schedule
details ASAP.
