[Alta-Logic] Peripatetic Seminar on Friday

[Florian Schwarz]

Dear all,

This is a friendly reminder that tomorrow at 10am we will be streaming 
Kalin's talk in ICT 616. If you want to join but can't come in person, 
feel free to reply to this email and I will share the zoom link with you.

Best regards,

Florian
