This Distinguished Lecture Series is supported by a generous donation from Justin Walker, in memory of his late wife, Beatrice Yormark, with additional support from the Stanford Mathematics Research Center. The donation is also used to support other Women in Math activities in our department, including quarterly Women in Math lunches and occasional Yormark visiting scholars.
