Lectures will be held in the classroom of the Leander McCormick Observatory (LMO) 11:00-12:30 Fridays. There should be adequate parking; most of the parking is on the left before you pass the observatory. Do not park next to the small white house on the right. LMO is not fully accesible: there are 2 steps to get from the parking lot to the observatattacory floor level and 2 more to get into the classroom. The toilet is downstairs.
