I attended the one last week on "Sustainable Cities, Food, and Neighborhoods: Do They Relate?" and thought it was quite excellent. Here's the rest of the lecture schedule for the year:

I played around with it a bit, but I can't seem to figure out how to add anything to it. Suggestions? Maybe I don't have the right level of access?

Ah. Now I'm getting the "post event" link in the calendar. For some reason earlier today I wasn't getting it. I also couldn't post to the site for like a half hour. Maybe some weird glitch... It seems to have self-healed regardless.
