Subsequently moved to BNP Pariba.

Probability in Bath Summer 2007

There was a host of activities throughout the summer of 2007 including:

	visits from Prof. J. Englander and Prof. G. Kersting;
	a graduate course "Branching diffusions, superdiffusions and random media" given by Prof. J. Englander;
	the first South-West and South-Wales Probability meeting.
