The Swedish Government has been a leader in supporting education worldwide in underfunded countries such as Rwanda, Uganda, Cambodia, and Myanmar. Now they are considering canceling the program. Encourage them not to. Sign this petition chng.it/k8nKdjSh via @ChangeTR

Crazy half baked thought for the day: something like @maanow's PIC math (which is awesome btw) but instead of industry, consulting with communities. Cc @DrMathL and @mathprofcarrie

Huge thanks to Darren Narayan, Michael Dorff, Suzanne Weekes, and the rest of the PIC Math team for organizing a great intro workshop on helping students find math careers in business/industry/government! I feel so lucky to be a part of this family! @mdorff44 @SuzanneLWeekes

Wouldn't it be much more fun if the earth orbited a triple star system? No years, unpredictable seasons😯, random daylight hours, utter chaos, and some very very hot weeks!! 😳 Simulation made with @geogebra (NSolveODE at its limits !!!🧐).

My last article as @maanow president is about personal failure - something we all encounter but rarely discuss or share publicly. I wanted to tell about some of my failures hoping it will help others understand that they are not alone in this. @mdorff44 @amermathsoc @TheSIAMNews

@maanow Political agendas should not determine mathematicians' ability to explore ways to improve the teaching of math to all people and the understanding of all math including climate science, the spread of diseases, and equitable voting.

@maanow Most teaching of math encourages just 2% of students to continue in math. We can do better. We can improve by reaching out to those who are left behind by understanding our biases, why our current approach is not working and exploring new ways to excite more people about math.
