Re: Training advice

[Bob Ono <raono () UCDAVIS EDU>]

We'll be moving the podcasts and slides to a publicly accessible location by the first week of July.  Only the 
instructional lectures will be available by podcast. I'll post to this list when the move is complete.

Some of you sessions look really interesting.  Any chance of getting
access to the podcasts?

Thanks
