Would you mind forwarding this to any talented juniors or seniors you know 
who might be considering graduate school, and who might be interested in 
studying network theory? Cris Moore is my former PhD advisor, at U. New 
Mexico, and I can highly recommend him as an mentor.

Many thanks, and I hope you're all doing well as the semester winds down,
Aaron
