Ooooh speaking of Matt want to see who I met the other day while visiting the UK? It's Sky!!! Oh and hi Brady, I'm Alice, I do Matt's China stuff. A lot of people would be able to verify I'm legit (Nicole/Alex, Numberphile hosts like Katie/James/Sophie/Ayliean/Ben/etc)

For secretivity before his birthday, feel free to share around socials (I'm hoping he's too busy to notice) as long as you don't notify him (email, text, in person, @ mention, carrier pigeon, etc) directly (@numberphile @BradyHaran you may have an idea of how to get more?)

We're doing a small project to show appreciation to Matt Parker (Stand-up Maths) by making him a birthday present that will (hopefully) be filled with 2025 Parker Squares, and could use, like, a thousand more 😅 To participate, fill out (by Dec 15): forms.gle/PepGSKb3wco9dF…

I wouldn’t say I’m kickass but I’m def one of them… The US is shooting itself in the feet with science funding and I’m one foot out the door at this point. Thanks for the PhD degree from an Ivy League, I’ll bring that knowledge elsewhere~

I have a defense date: May 14th at 2pm!!! 🥳 It's going to be hybrid, so if you want to come please message me for a link!!! I just don't want it too public. If you're from one of my scicomm groups, feel free to ask Derek/Ben、Matt/Nicole/Alex、Steve/Amy/Charles.

@acapellascience Oh, you want to do this? Bilibili would be the platform to use. I can send you an email with more details sometime in the next week or so. I can also help with anything in the process based on how much control you want. It would be a fun challenge to translate the songs...

@Origami_Alice wait how do i do that

I had a call with @hankgreen and he challenged me to make a video in a week about coral bleaching i took two weeks. sorry hank

Look it's my first big origami engineering project I'm helping with! Nice to finally share something with the world after all this time working on it~

Just dropped our new origami paper with Erik and Ryuhei on arXiv! arxiv.org/abs/2412.02174 It's sorta my first first author paper~ I'm not the best at the technical stuff so the coauthors helped a lot with honing in the language and proofs, couldn't have done it without them!

Look at that happy penguin. Ah what a night. Okay back to work.

First time seeing Northern lights! Cornell's beauty never seizes to amaze...

Accidentally made some skulls while CADing for my next fab run... I think I need a break 😅💀

"This thing looks familiar where have I seen it before?" Seconds into the video: *Zachery Abel is mentioned* Ooooof course. Demaine group strikes again! Small world...

Finally saw something astronomical, I guess.😅

Side note: Working out some admin-y stuff for a side project at the cleanroom these days, where I'm getting a peak behind the curtain, and holly cow... If you don't know the correct people, making a custom tiny thing can easily be >$100k even with a known procedure...

Planning on making a "How to fold the world's smallest origami" video in the future, ideas on what the steps should include? I'm thinking things that are as insane as possible yet simple and short, like "Step 1: Build a cleanroom"

For those at JCDCGGG: Erik's presenting some results that I helped wrap up! Come by Tuesday, Room A, 14:40-14:59

@acapellascience So... You know how I said I wasn't joking? I'll send you a link when it's finally published!

@Origami_Alice i'll take an acknowledgement! i put God in my acknowledgements they let you put anything in there

sometimes i'll go to a conference and people will thank me for doing my part to Convince Young People to Pursue the Sciences and it's like ????? ma'am that's not my intent here at all, i LEFT the sciences to do silly things on the internet

@acapellascience 🤣What a thread to read right before bed... Your songs are definitely getting me through my thesis writing, I'll tell you that much. *Puts ACS in acknowledgements* (Not even joking at this point...)

THAT is the shit i do this for scicomm?? this is artcomm, expressioncomm, musicomm my friends, my science friends, you know you want it you will hum at your workbenches and you will thank me for it, good DAY

@LondMathSoc @BradyHaran @numberphile @IMAmaths Congrats Brady!!! You people in this line of work have real talent. I struggle to explain my research ideas to my advisors, yet your videos make science/math communication to the general public seem so easy...

We are delighted to announce the 2024 Christopher Zeeman Medal is awarded to @BradyHaran, creator of @numberphile. The Medal is awarded jointly by the LMS and @IMAmaths and dedicated to recognising excellence in the communication of mathematics. ➡️ lms.ac.uk/news/brady-har…
