I meant to ask Steve because he has shown some interest in SDG.

Elinor Ostrom is someone else I keep hearing about although it wasn't 
clear to me that she has made much use of ABMs...not that that is 
absolutely essential.

Marcus: Could you probe Steve and see if he persuadeable? I told Tim 
Kohler that we are looking for a 'featured speaker' with a slot of up to 
an hour, or even an after-dinner talk for Friday; you could tell Lansing 
the same, and if any confusion arises we'll deal with it later.

See my next msg.

Steve
