Supercourse Newsletter - September
----------------------------------
Dear Friends
Thank you for your many, many positive responses as to sharing one's
best lecture on the Supercourse by having the lecture presentation
video-taped when one is teaching students or presenting at a confer-
ence. Some responded that the easiest way for them is just to record
their voice along with their PowerPoint presentation. Others said the
traditional way described in the Supercourse web site
(http://www.pitt.edu/~super1/assist/inst.htm) is easier. Our inten-
tion is to minimize the work for you in providing your best lectures.
So please take the easiest way for you. If you have any questions,
please feel free to contact us.
In this newsletter, we cover four points.
I. New lectures in August
II. Lecturers' list web page is updated
III. The link to Health, Environment, and Sustainable Development
IV. Two new graduate students joined our effort in Pittsburgh
