Pat Murphy's Talk Notes

The design for this page was shamelessly copied from Rob Millner's talk summary page, principally for its ease of use. Alas, Rob has left for Greener Pastures, but his lunch talk notes (fortunately for us!) remain.


NOTE: I've begun the process of migrating much of this content to NRAO's official web documentation (The Gold Book), so what's left here will become somewhat... bit-decayed over time.

This list is now sorted alphabetically, and has (approximate) dates of the original presentation.
