AWM WORKSHOP: Focus on Research & Career Experiences Held in conjunction the 2004 SIAM Annual Meeting (July 12-16, 2004) The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) plans a workshop from Monday mid-day through Tuesday, July 12-13, 2004. These events are held in conjunction with the 2004 SIAM Annual Meeting and the 2004 SIAM Conference on the Life Sciences at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon, July 12-15, 2004. AWM and SIAM welcomes your participation. The sessions focus on showcasing the research of women graduate students and recent Ph.D. mathematicians and helping individuals to prepare for careers in the mathematical sciences. Our Tuesday morning session is a minisymposium that focuses on career planning and experiences. The workshop also has two research minisymposia (Monday afternoon and Tuesday afternoon) presented by recent Ph.D. mathematicians and poster presentations by graduate students. In addition, on TUESDAY, July 13, 2004, 3:00 PM there is the AWM-SIAM Sonia Kovalevsky Lecture presented by Joyce R. McLaughlin, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. There is NO registration fee for this AWM workshop. The minisymposia, poster session and award lecture are open to all SIAM meeting attendees. Pre-registration for the AWM luncheon is required. Individuals can inquire about availability by contacting the AWM Office, 4114 CSS Bldg., College Park, MD 20742-2461; phone 301-405-7892 or email [email protected] . For further information on the workshop, contact the workshop chair, Suzanne Lenhart ( [email protected] ) or Dawn Wheeler at AWM ( [email protected] ). AWM is grateful to SIAM and their Meetings Department for all their efforts on behalf of the workshop and all AWM activities. AWM also wishes to thank all the AWM members who volunteered their time and expertise for these activities. A special thank you is extended to Professors Suzanne Lenhart (University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory), K. Renee Fister (Murray State University) and Maeve L. McCarthy (Murray State University) who kindly served as the 2004 Workshop co-organizers. AWM also wishes to express its gratitude to the Office of Naval Research (ONR) for their support of the AWM workshop. ********************** TIME: 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM Luncheon speaker: [see AWM staff on-site for ticket availability or email [email protected] prior to the meeting] TIME: MONDAY - 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM This minisymposium will feature talks by female Recent Ph.D.'s working in mathematical models with biological applications.
