Jeff's recent trip to Russia

I recently attended a workshop at Novosibirsk-Akademgorodok (Russia) "Studies of Socio-Natural Co-evolution from Different Parts of the World" that was sponsored by Sante Fe Institute. During this trip Dr. Joseph Luczkovich and I toured Moscow and went on a brief hiking trip in the Altai Mountains with other workshop attendees.

It figures. The second you sneak off for a pit stop, someone decides to take your picture.
