Updated travel info for Saturday's meeting at BU

(cross-posted)

As most of you are aware, the public transit options for Saturday will be extremely limited. Jeannette called the MBTA yesterday to confirm: The green line is closed west of Kenmore Sq, so the public transportation options are the 57 bus (which goes along Comm Ave) and the 47 bus, which runs from Central Sq across the BU bridge. I am not hopeful that the situation will change, as Monday commuting is the priority for the MBTA. Please be sure to check http://www.mbta.com/winter/ for the most up-to-date information.

Parking is available in Agganis Arena, 925 Commonwealth Ave, entrance off of Buick Street.

We are supposed to get more snow, but we are planning on holding the meeting as scheduled. Any cancellations will be posted here, the Google mailing list, and the Facebook group.

Year-End Review: AMS-NE in 2015

As the year draws to a close, I thought I'd take the opportunity to summarize and comment upon chapter activities and events that have marked this past year for us in the AMS-NE. We had a very successful Winter meeting at Boston University on February 21, 2015, which was not only well-attended, but featured particularly good feedback and questions from the audience. I make special note of this as one of the people in attendance that day is no longer with us--Dr. Joel Sheveloff, who left us on November 8, 2015. There have been many beautiful remembrances of Dr. Sheveloff, but I include one from chapter member Fred Thornton at the end of this post. I hope you will take the time to read it, as we lost someone who was an inspiration, mentor, and friend to so many in our chapter. Early May 2015 brought us to a meeting at Yale , which, despite an unexpected campus-wide power failure, was a lively and enlightening gathering! We look forward to being back in Connecticut at The Hartt S...
