The entrance is shown in Google Maps at http://goo.gl/maps/l0Cq. Note that the doors may be locked; we will post a pair of people to let people in for the first 30 minutes, but if you’re later than that, you’re at a different entrance, you’re lost, or there’s no one there, then call my cell phone at 607-339-5552.
I will be giving a short presentation on value of information—that is, order-of-magnitude calculations of how much research and thinking is worth, and spotting cases where it’s unexpectedly high or low. This will not take up the entire time; the remainder will be spent on general-purpose socializing, calibration exercises using Wits & Wagers trivia questions, dinner (details to be decided on Saturday), and whatever good ideas you suggest.
