Dear All,
 
I hope you are having a pleasant and productive start to the week (and apologize for the slightly impersonal nature of the message)!
 
I am writing to ask for your help with advertising the 2026 Princeton ML Theory Summer School, which will be held in early/mid August 2026. The school is intended for PhD students, and I think it may be of interest to students at your department and institution. If you agree, can I please ask you to forward the announcement below and attached poster to the relevant lists and people?
 
Thank you very much in advance,
