No, there's no need to make any reservations, just show up in the room, preferably at the first lecture. Unless, of course, you're a student and want to collect the one credit - in which case you should talk with Jason at the first lecture and perhaps register through the usual system....

This sounds super interesting, thanks for putting this up! I would probably not have heard about this otherwise.

I would love to go but I have to drive to Tampere at 16:00 so chances of being back in time for the start are shall we say slim. I'll be there tomorrow though :D
Oh, God, God, God! What on earth was I drinking last night? My head feels like there's a Frenchman living in it.
