In answer to the cog-sci teaching/students/conference query:

1. I am a cognitive science student.  Actually, I'm doing a tutorial studies
program in neurobiology and cognitive science at the University of Chicago,
and will graduate (B.A.) this spring.

2. Problems?  Well, I suppose the fact that I had to transfer to Chicago in
order to pursue the independent studying that I wanted was a problem, though
not unique to cognitive science.  I *would* suggest that cog-scientists
develop interdisciplinary programs such as are seen at UCSD, UMass, and a few
other places (e.g., incorporating neural net study to attract comp-sci/AI
students.
