Around the Blogs in 80 Summer Hours

It's the summer somewhere. Here are some of the blog entries that caught my eye this past.....fifteen days

Pretty much in line with what Bob and Dirk did a month ago (i.e writing about meetings they attended), Dustin has a wonderful and in-depth presentation of what he saw at ESI 2012:on Phase retrieval. I think I may be tempted to make a full entry out of each of these meetings summaries next time as they are so insightful. I am in awe.. Thanks Dustin, Dirk and Bob.
