Women in Research (WIR) is an NDSU organization that provides a platform for all NDSU female
 researchers to exchange their research, grant-writing, teaching, and other professional experiences.
The group meets regularly to share research agenda, perspectives, and skills that are beneficial
for the female-scholar community at NDSU. The group welcomes all female faculty
as well as female research scholars and scientists to attend our regular sessions and meetings.

"Unraveling a web of mysteries"

Dynamical algebraic combinatorics studies actions on mathematical objects with strikingly nice counting formulas and algebraic significance.
Often, the study of such dynamics provides insight into the structure of the objects, revealing hidden symmetries and connections.
In this talk, I'll describe some recent work on mathematical objects called webs, in which we found a beautiful,
visual explanation of nice dynamical behavior which led us to a solution of a 30-year old problem.
(Joint work with Christian Gaetz, Oliver Pechenik, Stephan Pfannerer, and Joshua Swanson.)
