[Committee] Fwd: RE: Talk at Cambridge

[M. Kaufmann]

Hi,

I'm not sure, but this talk sounds very technical, it might be good (by 
which I mean, it would be good for me) to have at least a foggy idea of 
what this is about, maybe like an abstract of sorts? Of course, the talk is 
probably intended to make it all clear, but from my past experiences they 
seem to assume more knowledge than is present.

Generally speaking, I think it would be good to have a little blurb on what 
our talks are about, I've been asked by a few people whether the talk 
tonight was going to be interesting and couldn't honestly say more than 
that Steve thinks highly of Prof MacKay.

Keep smiling!

Marc
