"I'm afraid there's many bad people around, but they have made scientific advances." - President of the Royal Society.
The Royal Society continues to be happy to be associated with, indeed honour Elon Musk with fellowship, despite the Grok scandal.
I will never understand this.

Hanging out at home for the holidays? Turn some downtime into space time. Make a 2026 Moon Phases Calendar, and follow the lunar cycle all year long!

Small moon icons progress through the lunar phasesโnew moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarterโrepeating throughout the year. Thin radial lines connect each date to a central bright circle, emphasizing the continuous lunar cycle across all 12 months of 2026.

A friend just gave me "The Mathematicians' Library" - early xmas gift. It's a beautiful looking tour of great books of mathematics from history. Lovely reproductions. Can't wait to properly read it.

One of my friends reminded me last night that this book is on his Christmas wish list! I thought Iโd share it here for anyone still wondering what to buy for someone who loves maths, history, or both.

In Discworld, cities thrive because they welcome dwarfs, trolls, vampires, and humans alike. Ankh-Morpork works because everyone belongs. Funny how fiction can seem more humane than policy sometimes.

Dadโs books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending itโs their own fault. So I hope Kemiโs taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

๐ฃ Another #MathsConf39 workshop announcement!
โจ History of Mathematics Themes in Maths Lessons: Why and How?
with Thomas Briggs (@TeaKayB) and Jason Yip (@Mathstodon.xyz)
Can the history of mathematics change how students feel about the subject? A recent research project found that attitudes toward maths improved when History of Maths themes were embedded into KS3 lessons.
In this workshop, youโll hear about the projectโs findings, enjoy some favourite stories from the history of mathematics, and explore practical ways to weave History of Maths into your teaching.
โจ What youโll take away:
โ
Insights from research on the impact of History of Maths in lessons
โ
A toolkit of stories and themes to spark student interest and curiosity
โ
Tips for identifying and collecting curriculum-relevant History of Maths resources
โ
Practical strategies for embedding History of Maths to enrich your teaching and improve engagement
Leave with new ideas and inspiration to bring the story of mathematics into your classroom in ways that connect, inspire, and improve studentsโ attitudes.

The Vagina Museum is trans inclusive. We always have been and we always will be. As long as there's a Vagina Museum, we cannot be bullied or bought to change our stance on this.

I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community.
We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect?
Trans people are human beings โ and they deserve to live in dignity.
