Jacob Beck: A Memorial Tribute


Jacob Beck passed away in March of 2003. A day of talks by some who knew and
worked with him will honor his contributions to science and the memory of a
man whose iron zeal for pursuit of truth about perception was tempered with
a gentleness of spirit that touched all around him.
