AWM Special Session on Women in Mathematical Biology, I
In recent years, there has been broad interest in applications of mathematics in biology and medicine. Different stochastic and deterministic models, and numerical and statistical approaches have been developed to study various fields of mathematical biology, such as ecology, immunology, epidemiology, and many more. This special session will highlight these new developments along with the diverse group of researchers who drive innovation. We will have an open lunch gathering open to all.

AWM Special Session on Exploring Mathematics through the Arts and Pedagogy in Creative Settings, I
This session explores the creative intersections of mathematics with the arts, and pedagogical techniques on teaching math in creative settings. Allowing variations in mathematical thinking and approaching math creatively through art empowers pedagogy to find convergences of ideas often outside the realm of math. Our session will showcase women successfully using math in creative ways and promote the equal opportunity of women to study at the intersection of math research, art, and pedagogy.

AWM Panel: The Intersection of AI and Women+ in the Mathematical Sciences
As evidenced by the fact that AI is the theme of this year’s JMM, AI is making inroads into the lives of mathematicians. In this panel the discussion will focus on AI and women+. With leading industry and academic experts, we will discuss the roles women will ideally play in the development of AI and what effect AI will likely have on women – both in general and more specifically as mathematicians and educators.
