MSC reinvents itself to the new normal.

The MSC is now Open... sorta

We're making this up as we go along so bear with us. I (Dick Furnas) am working from home and am manning a Zoom Meeting during normal MSC hours, M-F 10:00 pm - 4:30 pm Eastern. Drop in and we can talk. If you want to help experiment with what does and doesn't work, that would be delightful. In anticipation of supporting people in time zones around the planet, I am also trying to keep the Zoom Meeting alive 24/7, and if I am up and about, may hear that you have joined the meeting and be able to chat with you. People can be in the Meeting at any time, without my assistance.

You can join this Zoom Meeting. Use internet audio. Settings default to audio only, with your audio muted. You can elect to turn on your audio as desired. The Meeting ID should not change -- and I'm getting better at keeping it alive.
