Schedule
This schedule should be considered tentative and subject to change, at least until it actually takes place! Regular meetings take place from 8:00-9:15 on TR on Zoom; alternate meetings are in Gather.town on TR from 1:25-2:40. These alternate meetings are meant for small groups who cannot make the 8 AM time. I will be present for at least part of the meeting on Thursdays (during my office hours).
