It has been such a pleasure coordinating these lectures for such a receptive audience. Thank you for your wonderful suggestions and your enthusiastic participation. After our last exciting speaker of the semester, Shahzia Sikander, we will pass the reins over to Lauren Silva and Matthew Wilson who have an amazing lineup planned for the spring semester.
