Sunday
by Hoffman, Neil 28 Apr '18

28 Apr '18

Hello everyone, We have three visitors who are sticking around for a little while after the conference: Maria, Matthias, and Hyam. As Sunday is supposed to be such a nice night, so I figured we go to my favorite part of campus: Lake Carl Blackwell. The plan is to meet up at ski point (see attached link) and grill on the lake. It's probably too cold for swimming, but we can still go for a hike and/or grill. We will bring our kite to fly and a soccer ball to kick around. https://goo.gl/maps/tJEVFmCmFf32 If you would like to come join us, RSVP to me so that I can get enough food, beer, other drinks. Let me know if how many people you might bring, if you want beer (RSVP by Saturday for this), and if you want meat or prefer vegetarian. If you don’t rsvp but still want to come that’s fine, but it would be helpful if you brought your own stuff to grill. Finally, an entrance permit is $5 per car for the lake Carl Blackwell recreation area, so be sure to carpool. Best Neil ______________________ Neil R.

Graduate conference this June
by Hoffman, Neil 23 Apr '18

23 Apr '18

Hello everyone, In addition to our conference this upcoming weekend, there are a number of other conferences this summer. I wanted to forward this conference announcement about a graduate student conference at Temple. If you have any questions please talk to me or Henry. The registration deadline for the gradate student conference is April 28th. Also, if you haven't registered yet for Redbud please do. It will help us with food orders and grant reporting. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScCjHwTLf3Ygk9NX2q5k6MYiElfl76Od0l… Redbud 2018 Registration<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScCjHwTLf3Ygk9NX2q5k6MYiElfl76Od0l…> docs.google.com Best, Neil ______________________ Neil R.

We will have four exciting plenary speakers (Daniel Krashen, Jean-François Lafont, Kathryn Mann, and Helen Wong) along with a large number (30-35) talks by graduate students. We have been recommended for sufficient NSF funds to fully fund travel and accommodations for about 100 graduate students from throughout the US. All the details, including registration, can be found on the conference webpage. The current deadline says April 28, but this will likely get extended. https://math.temple.edu/events/conferences/gscagt/ I hope that you can pass on this information to the students in your department, and specifically encourage your students to attend. It should be a great event. Best wishes, Matthew Stover and David Futer -- ______________________ Neil R.

Redbud
by Hoffman, Neil 10 Apr '18

10 Apr '18

Two diligent and inquiring students have asked me about our upcoming redbud conference. It seems like we should advertise it locally: http://math.okstate.edu/conferences/redbud/ If you would, please register for the conference, it will help us figure out our numbers, for food and coffee. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScCjHwTLf3Ygk9NX2q5k6MYiElfl76Od0l… [https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/w8uYcNdnia89GinJK1JqBnrWBQ9S4GS_aAGI-Ou6e…]<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScCjHwTLf3Ygk9NX2q5k6MYiElfl76Od0l…> Redbud 2018 Registration<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScCjHwTLf3Ygk9NX2q5k6MYiElfl76Od0l…> docs.google.com A second email will be going out to the department closer to the date, but it would help with the cat herding if topologists registered now. Also, if you are interested in helping us out that would be fantastic. Please contact me about that. Best, Neil ______________________ Neil R.
