Hello, This is a second announcement for the BLAST conference, to be held January 5-9, 2015, at New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM, USA. In addition to information from the original announcement (copied below), there are a few updates. The deadline for submitting an abstract via easychair is now Nov 15, the deadline for recent PhD's and graduate students to apply for funding is Oct 10, and while we seek registrations by Oct 30 (so we have an idea who is coming), paying the registration fee at the reduced rate of $60 will now be done at the conference. To apply for funding, recent PhDs and graduate students should send an e-mail to BLAST@math.nmsu.edu with a brief description of themselves and a paragraph or two about how the BLAST areas impact their research. We look forward to seeing you in January, the organizing committee PS Please do not reply to this message.
