It is my pleasure to solicit nominations for the "Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty". This award, launched in 2012, is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. While interdisciplinary work that bridges mechanics with physics, chemistry, biology and other disciplines is encouraged, the ideal awardee will demonstrate clear inspiration from mechanics in his/her research.

Dear Colleague,
We are sending you this message to let you know that the Aifantis International Symposium, dedicated to the life time achievements of Prof. Elias C. Aifantis, Emeritus Professor, Michigan Technological University, Houghton, USA and Honorary Professor, Aristotle University, Thessaloniki, Greece, will be held from 4-9 October 2015 in Antalya, Turkey.

I thought this might be of interest for some imechanicans, particularly those who work on composites (anisotropic and/or heterogeneous materials). Sorry if it sounds a bit infomercial. 

Imagine a youtube-like environment for you to deploy a cloud version of your code without any change to your original code. Your research code can be immediately shared with the global community.
