Poster Session:

The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) invites early-career women to give a poster presentation.
Format: 20-25 women will be selected to present a poster. AWM has applied for funding and hopes to be able to offer partial support for expenses for poster presenters.
Eligibility: Applications are welcome from women who have received their PhDs within approximately the last three years and from graduate students who have made substantial progress on their doctoral thesis.
