Stanleyfest

      In conjunction with the current KITP Program on Fundamental Aspects of String Theory, we will be hosting the celebration of Stanley Mandelstam's 80th birthday on Friday, Feb. 13, 2009.  We have planned a lively day of talks from a variety of Stanley's students and colleagues, followed by a reception and dinner. There is no registration fee aside from the dinner cost, which will be around $40 per person, payable at the meeting (cash or check).
