Hi Bob, thanks for your comment! It's true that IU has great faculty and resource in this area. There are a few multidisciplinary forums going on and I feel very fortunate to be around. I have heard about Castronova's work but have not had a chance to meet him yet. Are you working with him or anyone else at IU? Glad to see you at eLab city. Good luck with your research!
