Description:

The ongoing pandemic has severely disrupted networking opportunities, especially for young researchers. In an attempt to counteract this, we will hold a "get-to-know-you" session for combinatorics and related fields (probability, representation theory, etc.) in lieu of a typical seminar. Participants will have the opportunity to get up, introduce themselves, and speak for a few minutes about their interests and what problems they're currently thinking about. Graduate students at all levels are particularly encouraged to attend. The goal is simply to strengthen connections between members of the local community which may have been missed due to the pandemic. We hope to see you there!
