CFP: Probability and Chance in Science

Deadline Extended to June 29, 2018. Acceptances by July 10.

All submissions should be prepared for blind review, suitable for 30-40min sessions, and sent as an email attachment in pdf format to [email protected] by June 29. Acceptances will be announced by July 10. For additional information, including opportunities for commenting, please check the conference website: https://www.colorado.edu/chps/chps-conference or contact the principal organizer, Heather Demarest: [email protected].

Graduate stipend: Graduate students are encouraged to submit a paper; those whose papers are accepted will receive a modest stipend of $100 to help offset travel expenses.
