The links seem to be working fine for me, are they still not working for some people?

There’s only one Stan in St. Louis, dude: Stan Musial. Be prepared for a lot of confused attendees.

You will definitely get extra points during the presentation if you make an allusion to Stan Musial.

Oddly no abstract for the talk, but there is a long bio for Jonah:
Stan always gets the Large Conference Room. Never the Small Conference Room.
Fair warning: during my postdoc, I went to a presentation in that room. The speaker commented that Wash U was the only place he had been to where the audience brings their own laser pointers…
Aw, I took a bad week not to read the blog and missed it! I was in the OR anyway at that time, but I would have sent some students that way had I seen. Hope it went well.
