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/PepGSKb3wco9dF9fA
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?)
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.
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~
Bespoke photovoltaics: An interdisciplinary team of @Cornell researchers is developing HelioSkin, a solar-collection fabric inspired by the biological mechanisms that enable plants to bend toward the sun. @jennysabin @CornellAAP @CornellCAS #SOLAR news.cornell.edu/stories/202…
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!
"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...
NEW! Adam Savage Builds a Paperclip "Borromean Box" with @standupmaths! youtube.com/watch?v=E8Tlwodj…
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
Now that SoMEπ is over, check out the results! some.3b1b.co/results
There’s some very good ones this year!
Was checking out old PR stuff for my current research and... Holly cow this video has 1.5M views???

Do check it out if you're in NYC! I'm helping with the Chinese translation of this so I'm biased, but a friend I brought to NYC on this recent trip spent 2.5 hours just staring at all the little details, so I know I'm not the only one mesmerized by all the work they put in!
Back home! What a trip...
If you're wondering what it's like to work with @standupmaths -- the feedback I got was that *clearly* one suitcase's worth of origami was not enough.
Sorry for the slack, Matt. I'll do better next time. How does 5 suitcases sound?
What started as a joke email to @standupmaths has led to me transporting a suitcase of giant (& regular-sized & tiny) origami to NYC…
Sidenote: if anyone in NYC wants some of my origami, let me know. I’d love to get rid of some of this.
