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.

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
