Alan Edelman is presenting to Supercomputing Frontiers right now. What an excellent talk, thankyou.  
If I remember I will post a link to the recorded talk.

We also just met Alan’s dog (in the background barking at the delivery person I think)  
Dog picture please Alan?

That’s Philip! He’s an honorary MIT lecturer:
