Currently we have 1 public lecture and 9 plenary lectures scheduled. We have so many wonderful suggestions, but I'd like to narrow it down a bit before I make a Google Form, so we don't have to review too many candidates.

Of the names suggested, I'd like us to focus on the following:

### Public Lecturer:

- Minghyong Kim (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVYNuzZmOTM)
- Kate Stange (https://www.ams.org/journals/notices/201903/rnoti-p403.pdf, I went to that lecture and it was spectacular)
- Jordan Ellenberg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZTKuMBJP7Y)
- Holly Krieger (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgjVJ0XpMW8)
