<div><span style="color: #500050;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Dear Diego,</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #500050;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;"> </span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #500050;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Hope everything is well. I am writing to ask for your help advertising a the second edition of the Journeys for Theoretical physics school which we are putting together here at ICTP-SAIFR in Sao Paulo from July 10-15 (</span></span><span style="color: #500050; font-size: 12.8px;"><a href="http://ictp-saifr.org/journeys">ictp-saifr.org/journeys</a></span><span style="color: #500050; font-size: 12.8px;">). The first edition was a huge success and we hope to do even better this year! </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #500050;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;"> </span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #500050;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">The school is organized jointly by Perimeter Institute and ICTP-SAIFR and is aimed at exceptional undergraduates in their last year from all countries in Latin America. Local and travel expenses are available for qualified students.</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #500050;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;"> </span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #500050;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">It would be great if you could forward this message to potential participants and also to other researchers or staff you might know and who would be able to advertise it further. The deadline for applications is in a few weeks (April 28).</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #500050;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;"> </span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #500050;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">At the end of the school, we will have two physics exams (on undergraduate material and also on the school topics) and the top scorers will be announced. We will post the exams online and repeat the school every year (you can see the last ones there already), and hope that this will become a valuable asset in identifying and bringing together young talent in Latin America. If all goes well, this will also help create valuable bounds amongst these young Latin American students, many of whom will hopefully become future theoretical physicists. It will be a very fun school.</span></span></div>

<div><span style="color: #500050;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Thanks a lot for your help! </span></span></div>
