Current music:A very enthusiastic lecture in combinatorics

Kirkman
The Kirkman medal is given by the ICA (Institute for Combinatorics and its Applications) every year to recent Ph.D.s with "a record of achievement" in discrete mathematics research. Award winners are announced at the Southeastern Combinatorics Conference in March.

One of the medalists for 2005 is, apparently, me.

Cool.

I am so happy for you! You certainly deserve it! I will now look for your beaming photo in the next BICA!

It's not apparently that simple, since I wasn't actually presented a medal as such; it was just announced that I was a medalist.

Which isn't to say that my photo won't be in BICA, since Ralph Stanton cornered Abbalabba and me in Walgreen's the other night.

Heh. Speak for yourself; I really was not expecteding this. In fact, when Unca Pete nominated me he pretty much said straight out "you're not going to win this".

Apparently I have to wait until next year's conference to find out. I don't know why they do this --- announce winners for year x in year x+1 and then present them with their medals in year x+2 --- but I suspect it has something to do with having to forge the medals in the heart of a volcano or something.

How funny! But I'm not sure about that one...I think it has a negative connotation. But maybe that's BREEEEyoop instead. The upswing makes all the difference!
