Hello everyone,
As you all know, Bus is stepping down as chair on June 30th. So to celebrate we were thinking of having a mini-conference July 22-23. We were going to focus on layered solid handlebodies, which Bus will be speaking about. Robert and I will be speaking about layered solid tori and bi-twist manifolds.
We would also be happy if grad students got involved and volunteered to give a talk or too. For example, it would be cool to have someone do a short presentation on using regina and we might have a working afternoon where we try to program up a layered solid handlebody triangulation generator. Contact me if you are interested in joining us.
Best,
Neil
