Lecture references in my Antarctica Journal

This section lists the places in the journal where I refer to the lectures that we attended, organized by the people who gave the lectures. Please note that this is not a listing of the lectures that were given, but rather the ones that I mention in my journal. I didn't write about everything I heard.

I hope to have several of these lectures available in audio form eventually. (I recorded several of them.) When that's done, the audio will be available at the appropriate points in the journal, and the availability will be noted here.

You may return to the main journal section at any time.
