We should talk about them just for fun because they are neat. Some very practical. A few I think could be adapted to be practical, anyways. Boris is back from Davos. Wednesday we will be at ISF with Nathan and George Whitesides. Should be interesting. What are you up to? EFTA_R1_01501007 EFTA02430926
