Dear Colleagues,

As the organizers of the MSRI "Connections for Women: Dynamical Systems" workshop, January 18-19, 2007, we're contacting you to ask if you would be willing to help us get the word out about this event.

The workshop is part of MSRI's semester-long program on dynamical systems that's happening from January to May 2007.

This intensive two-day workshop will spotlight several innovative applications of dynamical systems theory, offering advanced graduate students and recent PhDs an insider's tour of recent developments in the field and setting the stage for the semester-long program Dynamical Systems. The program includes invited lectures, contributed talks, a poster session, and a workshop dinner.

Men are actively encouraged to participate.

A key goal of the workshop is the recruitment of participants as active members and future leaders of the growing network of women in the mathematical sciences. There will be ample opportunity to make new contacts and share strategies for identifying and achieving our scientific and professional goals. We welcome applications from all interested parties, including advanced graduate students and postdocs.

The current speaker list is Gerda de Vries (U Alberta), Jenny Harrison (UC Berkeley), Svetlana Jitomirskaya* (UC Irvine), Rachel Kuske (U British Columbia), Mary Silber (Northwestern), and Mary Lou Zeeman (UT San Antonio). *=not yet confirmed.

Some participant funding is available (deadline to apply: November 10). Some additional funding will be available for participants to attend the Introductory Workshop on Dynamical Systems with Emphasis on Extended Systems the following week, January 22-26, 2007.

If you'd be willing to distribute this email to whatever mailing lists you think appropriate, that would be wonderful!

sincerely yours,
