Group Products and Achievements

We are keeping track of any products or achievements that came directly (or indirectly) from the workshop - or are associated with our group and therefore could be considered an outgrowth of this collaboration. Products include: published papers, either peer-reviewed or the popular press; accounts in the popular press; talks given at meetings, for academic departments, or other forums; grant proposals submitted or funded; other initiatives or achievements
