We are planning to have 3 full days of talks, with the program starting with breakfast at 9am on Saturday morning, and ending Monday afternoon. We recommend a Friday arrival and Tuesday departure to and from Ithaca.
Talks will be held in 401
Physical Science building (PSB) on the Cornell campus. Hotel Ithaca provides a free shuttle to bring you to the Cornell campus. In addition there is very convenient public transportation. The
bus number 10 leaves every 6 minutes
two blocks from the hotel and takes 10 minutes to the Goldwin Smith Hall stop which is directly in front of the
Physical Science building (PSB).
Bus number 30 leaves in the morning every 15 minutes (starting on the hour)
just 200m from the hotel and reaches the Rockefeller Hall stop right in front of the PSB building in less than 10 minutes. The bus fare is $1.50 and exact change is required. For further information please see the
TCAT homepage. Finally,
the walk between the hotel and the Physical Sciences Building can be pleasant and scenic, but be advised that when going uphill it could take 40 minutes, depending on your aerobic capacity. Returning to the hotel involves a comfortable 25 minute walk.
