Postdoc Network Diaries

I ran across this organization/network while browsing a local post doc resource webpage entitled "A Guide to the Postdoctoral Experience at UW-Madison". They seems to be somewhat similar to the YMN (similar in terms of focus on profesional development and networking, different in that it is more specificly focused on postdocs and also different in that it is more broadly for postdocs in any (scientific) field).

The have a newsletter too.

This isn't just an issue with students either, plagiarized teaching statements came up at one of the MathFest panels!

Gathering useful math links Diaries

By jvano
Posted Thu Feb 26, 2004 at 07:55:22 AM PDT
I've been contemplating gathering and placing useful "math on the web" type links somewhere on the scoop site. Of course we could do this in an article, but I think it might be good to organize a handfull into a small "toolbar" box on the left hand side similar to the YMN box, maybe have a few catagories such as
  • orginations
    • AMS - maybe also with links to employment stuff?
    • MAA - maybe also link directly to things like MathTrecks?
    • SIAM
    • AWM
    • others?
  • newsgrous (maybe via google's front end?)
    • alt.math.moderated
    • alt.math.recreational
    • alt.math.undergrad
    • sci.math
    • sci.math.research
    • others?
  • other resourse sites
    • Drexel's Math Forum
    • Marvy Mudd's Math Fun Facts
    • math puzzle sites (e.g. I believe Macalester College has something)
    • MathDL
    • PlanetMath
    • MSRI publications/lectuers
    • http://mathpuzzle.com/
    • http://www.mathnews.uwaterloo.ca/
    • mathworld
    • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics
    • others?

I too was bored (or inspired), so I googled for "mathematician". Diaries

Ironically it never occured to me to try this before. Google does pull up some interesting stuff. In addition to the U.S. Department of Labor site that overconvergent mentioned, I found the Mathematician Trading Cards site and the Profession Jokes site amusing.

So thanks overconvergent and its cool to see another person out ther user using the diary!

Humm, it seems no other users use their diary... Diaries

It might be interesting if we got some math "bloggers" going here. Granted, the posts I've put into my diary are pretty bland.

New look for the site Diaries

By jvano
Posted Sat Jan 24, 2004 at 12:24:50 AM PDT
As you might have noticed the site is undergoing a few "facelifts" in hopes of making it more "interface friendly". If you have any ideas or sugestions post your comments here.
