Packard meeting 2008

I'm in Park City for my last annual meeting as a Packard Fellow. As I've said before, I can't speak highly enough of the Packard Foundation. Their support has jumpstarted or otherwise contributed to pretty much my entire research program, and through their annual meetings I've gotten to know meet some fascinating people and hear excellent talks in the sciences, mathematics, and engineering. This is a particularly special meeting because it's the 20th anniversary of the Packard fellowship program, and they've invited back all the previous fellows. I'll try to post some highlights over the next few days.
