We hope you'll join us yourself and that you'll forward this message to interested friends who will be coming to DC. The complete list of our events appears below. If you've been checking our community blog (www.youngmath.net ), you've seen a rash of great posts lately about the job market and other issues. We've invited a handful of people to blog about their experiences, and their posts are generating some good discussion. There will be more about this after the Meetings, but for now take a moment to check out: jobhunter08, searching for a new job, writing about that experience: concerns.youngmath.net/user/jobhunter08/stories nowhiring, a faculty member on a search committee, writing about her/his experiences on that side of the table: concerns.youngmath.net/user/nowhiring/stories rtalbert, author of the popular math blog Casting Out Nines, writing about a whole host of issues: concerns.youngmath.net/user/rtalbert/stories Please remember that if you want to join the conversation by posting comments or your own stories (and we hope you do!) you have to sign up for an account.
