So, many years ago (ok 5) I went to a research workshop at a place called the american institute of mathematics (http://www.aimath.org). The workshop was on modelling cancer immunology and stuff like that and was organized by prof lisette de pillis (I did my postdoc with her math @ hmc) and some other folk (amy radunskaya and chuck wiseman). There were about 30 people from math and cancer immunology, oncology etc who all came together to work on problems in cancer treatment using mathematics. It was great fun. If you've ever been to maths in industry study group or maths in medicine study group, it was kind of like that.
I got an email from aim a few weeks back looking for proposals for workshops for next year. So I've quickly whipped one up with the help of graeme and scott and sent it off today. It's on modeling skin and related conditions. If it gets up there is a free trip to California in it for us and everyone else involved!
