Seeing the amazing imaging work being done by these folks, especially the Single Photon Avalanche Diode imaging and effects was a real highlight for me reporting this season

Come for the math, stats, and computational science, but definitely stay for the donuts

I learned so much reporting this episode. Please give it a listen!

I learned so much reporting this episode about quantum computing and information. Not least of which is that the speed of light is possibly less constant than I think it should be bsky.app/profile/imsi...

Also, remember the reason they are doing all of this. They are scared of us because we are fucking magic. We know who we are and refuse to conform just because people want us to. That gives us a power that they can never imagine, the power to be wholly and truly ourselves!

Combine this with Skermetti and I am so scared for trans youth out there today and tomorrow and until we can all agree in this country that we will actually respect the right for people to live as their whole selves bsky.app/profile/magg...

Here is a chance to help Palestinian scientists! They are looking to organize a Science in Palestine conference and a Quantum Physics summer school, as well as archive efforts to erase Palestinian academia, among other goals www.gofundme.com/f/support-pa...

Not messing with librarians is always good advice, they are much harder than you think they are www.lawdork.com/p/dont-mess-...

Well that explains Dr Hayden’s firing archive.ph/kvvh1

Vocal refusal to take part in the dismantling of our federal knowledge and information systems has never been more vital time.com/7285045/resi... (h/t to @chanda.bsky.social for originally point me to the article)

This restructuring is a disaster beyond imagining. Start with the major lose of jobs continue with the draining of expertise both organizational and scientific and end with everything being lumped into five applied areas with no space for basic and theoretical work www.science.org/content/arti...

No piece has more accurately expressed my currently feelings about our information world than this one www.newyorker.com/culture/the-... Also, the writing is just exceptional: "the past has vanished, the future is inconceivable, and my eyes are clamped open to view the endlessly resupplied now."

For everyone else who would love to go back to the world where google just provided you a list of links, there is a way. Just go into your browser settings and change the default address bar search to the following www.google.com/search?q=%s&... And may I be the first to welcome you back to 2005

There we go, got my 1st notification of a grant being cancelled. Not the biggest one & it was mostly spent off, but DOGE can still fuck right off. We are just sharing & archiving some of the best video work of the past 50 years. Y’all are just jealous because nothing you will ever do is this cool

Well, dammit. www.npr.org/2025/03/31/n...

So excited to share a BRAND NEW episode of Relatively Prime! This one is a conversation about funding in mathematics with @mathprofcarrie.bsky.social, @drew-lewis.com, and Jude Higdon from @qside.bsky.social Listen here: relprime.com/rpsf/

Loved the most recent Stadio (like I have all the others) but I have a different answer to @okwonga.bsky.social’s question at the end than @ryanhunn.bsky.social, I would either sub Bendtner for Eduardo in the 2nd minute against Birmingham 2008 or Rosicky for Ramsey at 55 minutes against Stoke 2010

This was a really fun one, I know so much more about quantum computing now (or in other words I know now at least a couple things about quantum computing) bsky.app/profile/imsi...

Libraries provide people free access to both information and experts who can help them parse that information, of course this administration is going to try and destroy the Institute of Museum and Library Services. What assholes!

The 3 steps to get a scholar removed: 1 Start a website 2 Algorithmically create text about how a scholar supports terrorism 3 Post that text That's it, those 3 things are enough to scare an Ivy League institution into placing a scholar on leave. This is horrific www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/u...

I am excited about the new episode of @imsi.institute's Carry the Two featuring an interview I had with Frank Wolak on playing energy games, the importance of economist and engineer collaboration, and why physics will always win! www.imsi.institute/podcast/fran...

@ryanhunn.bsky.social @okwonga.bsky.social 3 goals, a missed penalty, 2 red cards, and another Antony revenge tour goal, and only 1 minute for Betis Sociedad? Come on, I watched extended highlights just so I could follow what I expected would be a solid 20 minutes on that match 🤪

Turns out sun screen is not only for protecting from UV rays. It can also help you out when it is so cold out that the humidity level is at -10% and your hands are cracking from lack of moisture.

Great that the Statisticians are here, but I have to ask where are the mathematicians? AMS, MAA, SIAM did you not get the call? bsky.app/profile/aabe...

Earlier this week I gave a talk to the OSU Spectra student org about the importance of mathematical belonging and identity and how storytelling can help make a space for everyone in the story of mathematics. Now I am happy to share my slides with y'all! tinyurl.com/osuSpectra

This was such a fun episode to do bsky.app/profile/imsi...

“words are calories measured in the amount of heat they give a flame.” Wow, just wow, what a goddamn poem! Can’t wait to come back again and again, there are so many layers I haven’t event started to uncover web.archive.org/web/20250126... (h/t to @okwonga.bsky.social for the original link)

I appreciate the attempt #JMM2025, but this isn’t how to create an inclusive bathroom

This Verge Algorithmic Companion feature is sooo good: www.theverge.com/c/24300623/a... More than anything though, it has me wondering about the people who fall on the far ends of the various distributions of identities and needs.

Welcome to my new BlueSky post series, Sam’s thoughts about this year’s Xmas movies

Someone left the 12 year old in charge of the sweet potatoes 🤦‍♀️

I am so proud of the Mathematics & Democracy season of Carry the Two, a podcast from the Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Innovation, we just wrapped up. I mean, just check out the opening for the final episode all about polling

And if you want a deeper dive into mathematics and democracy topics like apportionment, political coalitions, and the electoral college make sure to check out the new season of Carry the Two from the Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Innovation www.imsi.institute/podcast/

It was so much fun talking about the mathematics of ballots and voting on the Maths Objects podcast aperiodical.com/2024/10/math...

@dcpierson.bsky.social was so excited to see Making DC DC in my podcatcher, only to be devastated when I heard y’all successfully tie it up in an single ep 😿
