the Evil Line

For all my many readers in the San Francisco area, I'm giving a talk at the 9th US National Conference on Computational Mechanics on Monday, titled "An implicitly coupled parallel fluid-structure interaction algorithm for blood flow in arteries." (Isn't advertising their public appearances something that bloggers do?)

I'll be at the conference most of next week and probably not posting. While I'm gone, you can read this very long but very good article about malaria, which Bill Gates calls "the worst thing on the planet."
