Hopefully all of you are familiar with this and the early-career program already, but if not, they are terrific conferences, and I urge you to consider applying. In previous years we have been able to procure some funds from the Department and/or the Dean to defray the cost of attending, and your division chief should be willing to kick in as well. If I can arrange that again, I will send out a general announcement to female dept faculty.
Best,
