Hm-m-m. This might require a bit of explanation. Despite the title, and despite my research interests, this program is not about the sort of morphometrics discussed on this list. Actually, the title was agreed over my objections which I raised because of the potential for confusion. It's supposed to be a play on words symbolizing the combination of miscellaneous observations on a variety of natural forms using the formalisms of poetic meter. Basically, the program will consist of a pair of poets (Roberrt Crawford and Sarah Maguire) and a pair of scientists (Rona Ramsey and myself) presenting the results of a pair of poet-scientist interactions (Crawford-Ramsey, Magurie-MacLeod) we've been conducting over the past year with the reading of poems resulting from the interactions, reactions to the poems by the scientists, and a general discussion of arts-science issues. If any London morphmet members wish to attend you'll be more than welcome, but please don't come expecting a lecture on applied geometry.
