Thanks, Sanyam! And if you want to bounce an idea off of us, and/or refine an abstract, please do feel free to ask, either here on the list, or, if you prefer, contact us (Sanyam, me, and CWells) off-list. We want to craft the best possible track we can, and this specific track usually gets 3 to 4 times as many sessions as we have places to put them.
