<br><span>Abstract:</span><br><span>Urns and balls models refer to basic probabilistic experiments in which </span><span>balls are thrown randomly into urns, and we are interested in various </span><span>patterns of urn occupancy (e.g, the number of empty urns). These models </span><span>are central in many disciplines such as combinatorics, statistics, </span><span>analysis of algorithms, and statistical physics. After covering the </span><span>fundamentals, we will show how some modern network and traffic </span><span>communications scenarios give rise to problems that are related to the </span><span>classical urns and balls questions. We will also describe some new </span><span>models and problems that emerge in content delivery because information </span><span>packets can be processed (e.g., by using finite field arithmetic) in a </span><span>way their physical counterparts, urns and balls, cannot.</span><br>

Weeks, who was the </span><span>first woman awarded a Ph.D. in Mathematics at MIT in 1930. She had a </span><span>substantial career as a professor and head of physics at Wilson College </span><span>(PA), and as a researcher in the spectroscopy lab at MIT.

She discovers that 24 out of 40 Angela Sheltons have been abused just like herself. Then the filmmaker meets an Angela Shelton who tracks sexual predators and lives in the same town as the filmmaker's father who molested her and her stepsiblings for years. The filmmaker's survey of women becomes a journey of self discovery during which she decides to finally confront her past and her own father - on Father's Day. The Angela Sheltons complete the journey by teaching the filmmaker about forgiveness, faith and the power of the human spirit, no matter what your name is.

<span>Thursday 10:00am - 1:00pm<br>Historical perspective on women scientists ….<br>We will hear from women who study women’s contribution to science. Sara Richardson from the History of Science, Harvard will describe contributions of women scientists throughout history. How does a woman’s unique perspective and different approach change the direction and kinds of advances made in science? Anne Harrington from Harvard University will also be speaking. Other presenters will speak about a woman scientist who personally inspired them.<br>
<br>Friday 10:00am - 1:00pm<br>Women Innovators today …<br>We will hear from women using new technologies and innovations in their careers. Our keynote speaker is Angela Belcher, the W.M. Keck Professor of Energy at MIT. Dr. Belcher does innovative research that address many pressing problems we face today…how to make safe, non-hazardous batteries that are more energy dense than those currently on the market? How can we engineer viruses and bacteria to capture excess CO2 and convert it into building materials? Can we use self-assembly viruses that have been genetically engineered to provide a safe, cheap alternative for photovoltaic technology? We will hear from other inspiring women, in different careers who are taking on the challenges of science and technology today. The day will also include a panel discussion group.<br>
<br>Saturday 10:00am - 1:00pm<br>Networking for the future …<br>Visitors will have the opportunity to meet and network with women scientists, entrepreneurs, and corporate researchers, and hear about their varied work. Learn how YOU can get involved in exciting careers in science and technology!<br>
Discover new fields of interest, internship and job opportunities. Bring your resume, get feedback, and make connections to many of our cutting edge Inspiring minds: Meet Women in Science!</span></p><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;text-align:left">
