I was just looking for an email address for you and couldn’t find one so I’m sending you this note via your about page.

I’m wondering if you/we could focus a math chat session during the Math Awareness week (April 23-28) on what’s going on at the Math Conference in Philly (April 25-28). Is that something we can do?
