[open-science] open science meetup in Boston/Cambridge

Wed Jun 22 17:54:31 UTC 2011

I'd be interested in a Boston/Cambridge meet-up.  Unfortunately, I'm only in
Cambridge about once a month these days and don't plan to be there in the
next two weeks.  But if you're building a list of people in the area, add my
name.

     Best,
     Peter
