Dear Colleagues, I would like to inform you that I am unable to attend this year's IAPS conference because of a technical reason that likely impacts no one in IAPS but me. Still, I thought it is important to bring this matter to your attention. The dates of the conference fall exactly on the Jewish High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah and as such I will have to forego participating in Fullerton. I have encountered similar situations several times in my career and in each case I have let the conference organizers know about the conflict. While I understand this is an oversight with absolutely no malice or discrimination intended, I also know that no conference would ever be scheduled on important religious dates of other faiths. Moreover, almost every desk and virtual calendar today identifies Rosh Hashanah and the dates on which it falls. I would like to wish all of you a wonderful conference and it's too bad I am unable to attend.
