Post-Pre-Pre-GLOW memory mechanisms workshop dinner, March 26, 2012, Potsdam

Last week, the whole linguistic world descended on Potsdam in connection with the GLOW conference. Embedded within that world is another world that works on memory mechanisms. So we parasitically organized an open-ended discussion on some major open issues. It was basically all of Maryland and all of Potsdam, plus Philip Hofmeister and Patrick Sturt and John Hale.

The meeting was very, very productive, much better than the talks+discussion model.

We will do this again next year!
