WOMEN IN MATHEMATICS DAY 2009
The next Women in Mathematics Day will be held on Friday 24 April at De Morgan House. Sessions will include talks and posters by practising women mathematicians in a variety of appointments and at different career stages.
The organisers would be very grateful if members could encourage women mathematicians, particularly students (including final year undergraduates) and those at an early stage in their career, to attend this meeting. It is hoped that an opportunity to see women who are active and successful in mathematics, and to meet them informally, will be beneficial. Feedback from previous meetings has shown that participants find this useful. While this is an occasion particularly for women active in mathematics to get together, men are certainly not excluded.
Any postgraduates, postdocs or research assistants interested in giving a talk or presenting a poster during the afternoon session should contact Dr Susan Pitts (S.Pitts@statslab.cam.ac.uk) by 27 February.
