[Female-math-faculty] correction about NSERC funding for science promotion

Thu Jul 11 13:38:31 EDT 2019

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the mass email. It turns out, this particular grant covers
promotional activities for pre-university students and their teachers. So
we won't be able to apply after all.

Cheers,
Ghazal
