We look forward to seeing you all on Monday evening. We’ve emailed everyone some airplane reading — links to additional material you can read before the lectures. Anyone looking to share rides from the airport can post a notice on the bulletin board (we emailed everyone the password) or use the Twitter hashtag that we sent you. Our Twitter address: https://twitter.com/SantaFeSciwrite.

We’ve posted the class list.

We just received the following message from the Inn of the Governors:

We just sold the last room in the group block. Unfortunately, due to the hotel occupancy, we cannot continue to offer the group rate. We will offer any additional callers the best available rate that remains at the time of the call. And, if any of those individuals book, they will be considered “commuters” for the meals.

We hope everyone who wanted to stay at the hotel has already made their reservation. Let us know if you have any trouble finding alternatives. There are suggestions on the web site.

We’re now taking applications for the waiting list. We almost always get a couple of cancellations at this point, so we urge you to apply. Once the class list is settled, we will be posting the instructor assignments.

We’ve accepted 48 people now. That leaves two openings.

We’ve accepted 43 people into the workshop leaving seven openings.

We’ve accepted 38 people into the workshop. That leaves 12 openings.

There are still some openings. We usually get a wave of applications after the annual AAAS meeting in mid February, so we urge you to apply soon.

Meanwhile we have posted the daily schedule

We’ve accepted 36 people into the workshop with four applications pending. That leaves approximately 10 openings.  We will soon be posting the daily schedule.
