2009 Telluride
School on Theoretical Chemistry
A schedule
for the six days of TSTC 2009 is given below. As you can see, the days were
quite full, but with a balance of lectures, discussions, recreation, and other
events. The photo below shows the participants and the four lecturers in the
front center.
