Today we have an exciting conversation with Dr. Erica Flapan, the editor in chief of the Notices of the American Mathematical Society, the official magazine of the society that is distributed to more than 30,000 colleagues every month. Erica earned her Ph.D. from the University of Madison Wisconsin and served on the faculty at Pomona College for 32 years . While there, she authored and co-authored several books, the titles of two of them show her breadth as a mathematician, When Topology Meets Chemistry and Number Theory: A Lively Introduction with Proofs, Applications, and stories. The Mathematical Association of America has recognized Erica’s teaching with the Haimo Award and the Association for Women in Mathematics celebrated her outstanding mentorship of women with the M. Gweneth Humphreys award. In this conversation, you will hear about the power of a personal refrain, the role of a supportive family, and the importance of discovering and leveraging personal skills. So, please join us as we talk with Dr. Erica Flapan.Pomona College webpage: https://pages.pomona.edu/~elf04747/AMS announcement of Erica Flapan as Notices Editor: http://www.ams.org/news?news_id=4010Erica's book, Knots, Molecules, and the Universe: An Introduction to Topology: https://bookstore.ams.org/mbk-96
