Readers eager to follow the event live can once again turn to the blog (in French) by former Tangente contributor Gaël Octavia, special correspondent for the Fondation sciences mathématiques de Paris (FSMP). There they will learn that four French researchers will be speaking at the congress: Nalini Anantharaman, Catherine Goldstein, Vincent Lafforgue and Sylvia Serfaty. Not to mention Michael Jordan—an American, admittedly, but the 2012 recipient of the FSMP Chair of Excellence. To make sure you don't miss a thing, visit: icm2018rio.over-blog.com Brief summaries of the plenary lectures, photos, interviews and highlights from the congress will be posted regularly, along with, of course, news about the award of the 2018 Fields Medal.
