Today is celebrated as the international women in mathematics day, in the honour of the birthday of Maryam Mirzakhani -- the first woman (and Iranian) to win the Fields medal! This article below shows the work she did, and it is still shaping research quantamagazine.org/years-after-th…

Blocking out evidence you don't like helps keep that 'science of learning" tent small.

(1/n) ∑_{i=0}^{n-1} f(T^i x) → ∫_X f dμ Watching Maryam Mirzakhani command the blackboard like this; unique ergodicity, the convergence of invariant measures, the rhythmic tap of the chalk: it hits different. The absolute fluid motion, the focus, the way she translates the chaotic dance of orbits into a singular, elegant truth. This is pure dynamical magic: where the statistical history of a single point dictates the behavior of the entire space. It’s the bridge between simple iterations and the deep, complex moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces. Her work lives in these transitions; showing how the geometry of hyperbolic surfaces and their geodesics isn't just math: it's the blueprint for the symmetry of the universe. To see the first woman to win the Fields Medal operating in her element is to see a masterclass in human potential and mathematical grace.

In 2014, a woman won the Fields Medal for the first time since it was established. Her story is fascinating because she was representing ordinary girls from all over the world. Her name was Maryam Mirzakhani, and she was from Iran. When Maryam was studying in Iran, there were separate schools for boys and girls. This did not make it easy for her to pursue science. Still, she did not give up. She worked hard and became one of the first Iranian girls to take part in the International Mathematical Olympiad, where she won a gold medal. The following year, she won another gold medal. She completed her early studies in Iran and later went to the United States, where she earned her PhD from Harvard University in 2004. Ten years later, she was awarded the Fields Medal for her important work in the geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces. Stories like hers help inspire more women to be included in the world of mathematics.

We extend our deepest gratitude to Prof. Hélène Barcelo as she retires today after 18 years with MSRI/SLMath. During her exemplary tenure as Deputy Director, Hélène oversaw all scientific activities, welcoming the mathematics community to Berkeley & beyond. Félicitations, Hélène!
