points in spacetime: fluids, anyone?

i'm considering attending a conference with the word "fluids" in the title ..

.. which, at first, looks like a bad sign;
i'm no applied mathematician!

on the other hand, i recognise quite a few of the invited speakers' names as well as the organisers, and even know a few of them personally.

but back to the first hand [1]: do i really want to travel more than i need to .. especially with all the trips coming up, this fall and spring?

decisions, decisions ..\-:


[1] there's no idiomatically natural way of saying this, is there? (-;
