?(sovera:announce) SoVerA Monthly Meeting April 8th 2025
Not sure if I remembered to send this to the group or not. It was a very long weekend not just working at NEAF but the horrendous drive back and forth in the rain at night with heavy traffic.? Fortunately, its was 2 hours at best. An hour and a half in the morning so that's favorable.?
Tonight's SoVerA meeting will have a talk on "The Edge." The expansion of an Infinite Universe.? The speaker is Erik Schmitt who you may recall spoke at our January meeting.? He's quite talented and a very good speaker.?
The Zoom link is below and begins at 7 PM ET tonight!
