Abbreviated Program with Audio-files of Talks

We audio-taped the talks given during the President's Symposium and the four Plenary Sessions. Sixteen of the 27 speakers gave us permission to digitize the audio-tapes of their talks, and to post them on our website. The digital audio-files are in two formats: VivoActive (.viv) and RealAudio (.ra). The VivoActive files give you streaming audio (you can listen to the audio-file once the file begins to download); whereas, the RealAudio files need to be downloaded completely before you can listen to them. To listen to these audio-files, you need the free VivoActive Player (plug-in), or the free Real Player (RealAudio Player or plug-in).
Thanks goes to Brad Fillmore of the Dept. Biol. Sci., Idaho State University, for taking care of obtaining each speaker's permission to digitize and post their talk on our website.
