Vince Poor and Robert Calderbank of Princeton, Joao Barros of the University of Porto, and Ralf Koetter of the University of Munich, and the moderator was Sergio Servetto of Cornell.  The panelists tried to provide advice to students considering academic careers in areas related to information theory, and on the challenge of securing funding.  The panel was attended by about 150 students.
