Everyone is cordially invited to the summer 2005 series of seminars
organised by SKIT, jointly run by the Science Museum and Imperial College.
If you are coming from outside these two institutions, it is a good idea
(but not essential) to e-mail me that you are coming in case there is any
last minute changes of plan.
