Hi Lee

            Great !  We look forward to having you there at the July 24 event. 

Glad also that you've checked out the new website.  Yes, the graphic there is in a sense a ‘swarm’ – but not of insects (which I think the word ‘swarm’ is usually associated with) but of a flock of starlings, and otherwise known as ‘the murmurations of starlings’ (see, for instance, https://animals.howstuffworks.com/birds/starling-murmurations.htm) <https://animals.howstuffworks.com/birds/starling-murmurations.htm)>..... Or in our terms at the MOM Project (The Movements of Movements Project), this is one of the many manifestations of the extraordinary phenomenon of the movements of movements….

See you there on the 24th !  And everyone else, please consider joining us !

Jai
