MSRI also engages in outreach to other sciences, to the public, and to various efforts in education, and it is active in encouraging diversity in the research population. MSRI has about 1,800 visitors to its programs during the year, and has an average of about 20 postdocs and 60 more senior mathematicians in residence at any time.
