(Cornell), Hal Varian (Google), and Mihalis Yannakakis (Columbia), and a
rump session with short contributed presentations.

soliciting speakers for the rump session. Each speaker will have 5
minutes to describe a problem and result, an experiment/system and
results, or an open problem or a big challenge. If you would like to
speak, please send a one paragraph text description of what you would
like to present, including links to references if needed, to
physicalscience@nyas.org with NYCE in the subject line. Submissions must
