\paragraph{\bf CRM week:} Some things about mathematicians.
\begin{enumerate}
\item Pick one of the speakers at the Combinatorial Representation Theory conference and learn some things about them. What is their research about? What are they interested in? If you had a chance to talk to them, what would you ask them about? 
 (The list is at http://www.crm.umontreal.ca/2014/Combinatorial14/participants\_e.php) 
\item Pick three other non-local currently research-active mathematicians (in any subject) who you would be interested in talking to, and do the same thing as in (1). Additionally tell me why you picked them. 
\item Find a (non-local) conference, institutional research program, workshop, or summer school you might be interested in attending in the next two years, and tell me how you would go about doing so. Do you have to apply to attend? Where would the funding come from? Do they have funding available, and if so, how do you apply? Might you be able to speak? Who would you contact to get involved?  List all relevant dates. 
\item Find a paper posted on the arXiv (arxiv.org) within the last two weeks that you would like to read, and tell me why. Give some context. 
\end{enumerate}
