Currently listening to @aproblemsquared.bsky.social, episode 133, which already does a great job at #illustratingMath. But this episode has a shout-out to @mathgrrl.com and the #illustratingMath exhibition at the Maison Poincaré! Give it a listen and if you're in Paris, visit the exhibit!

This absolutely resonates with my experience. I'm three years into my (supposedly) eight year Academic Career Track, with a midterm next year and I have absolutely no clear grasp as to what's expected of me (except, more, of course). #AcademicSky

I wonder at what stage my "I'll save this and read it later" behavior fits 🤔 #AcademicSky

I immediately bookmarked this for my upcoming #visualization courses, such a great reference! And I'm sure it also comes in handy when developing #illustratingMath content.

It’s April 30 (in this time zone). Martin, Kerry and I have been working with authors on their submissions for the Bridges conference and the editing is (nearly) done. @msmathcomp.bsky.social

I am looking forward to this year's Bridges #MathArt conference. It was fun being the Regular Papers Chair, but it was also quite some work (my Thunderbird folder counts close to 2k received or written emails 😅). Yet, the works are amazing, cannot wait for Galway in August. 🇮🇪

Last week, we had the annual spring dinner of the Delft Young Academy, on the very relevant topic of "Academic career and personal life". After some short input, we had an inspiring panel discussion that carried over into many fruitful dinner conversations.

The fabulous "Summer #Geometry Initiative" by Justin Solomon at MIT is looking for projects: sgi.mit.edu. It is a six-week summer research program introducing students to geometry processing. Student groups work on one-week projects with mentors. Suggest your own!

The International Day of Mathematics @idm314.bsky.social is looking for a new theme for 2027. They have an open call for suggestions: form.jotform.com/imaginaryorg.... Chip in with your ideas!

Here's a second, geared mechanism that transforms between cube and octahedron forms. Full video at youtu.be/T9BNMLFHXUw

This is a result of our fabulous #illustratingMath trimester at the institute Henri Poincaré in Paris, which ran from January till March this year. Attached is an image of the piece in the #art exhibition at the Maison Poincaré. Definitely give Henry's video a look!

Here's the chance to get into another fabulous #MathArt project with @mathgrrl.com. Attached are some photos of the result of the last project, which was awesome! Subscribe with her to stay up to date on the new endeavor!

Looks like some lovely #MathArt.

A fascinating #illustratingMath video. I had seen it, had forgotten the trick, and was as amazed at it as when seeing it the first time. (I'm not a topologist, I guess 😅)

Not only a new Saturday Morning Breakfast Comic, but one #illustratingMath with Terry Tao! Be sure to click the link to read all five pieces (with more than 4 panels each). Also let me know what kind of mathematician you are. I'd say "eccentric professor" for myself 😅

For future reference, you can always send me pictures of unicorns, the official national animal is Scotland 🦄

We are very excited to organize a virtual APNet lunch meeting with award winning outreach expert Dr. @pranoti.bsky.social on "Effective Science Communication Design & Delivery for Your Grant Proposals". Register to become an APNet member to receive the registration information: ap-net.nl/register

Followers of the Dodecathedral are frequently in quarrels with those of the dual Icosathedral.

Before looking at today's second day of the third #illustratingMath workshop at the Institut Henri Poincaré, I would like to share some of yesterday's results. Here are two images by @bernatree.bsky.social and @henryseg.bsky.social, respectively, using Voronoi cells for visualization. (1/3)

Yesterday, we kicked off the third and last #illustratingMath workshop at the Institut Henri Poincaré, dedicated to "Integrating Research and Illustration in Number Theory." In the morning, we heard four great talks. Here are Roice Nelson's visuals: roice3.org/paris2026/. (1/2)

Came across this essay this morning and think it is worth sharing. We can not talk enough about the achievements of all the great women out there! arxiv.org/abs/2603.09077 Celebrating Women in Mathematics by Diana T. Stoeva #math #academicChater #womeninStem #womenInHistory #mathsky

We are happy that The Young Academy has made the quality of PhD supervision a priority topic for this year. We are very excited to engage with them in the discussion about their #Profkip initiative. www.dejongeakademie.nl/publicaties/... Read our position paper here: ap-net.nl/position-pap... (1/7)

I am using traditional descriptive geometry and watercolor pencils to turn functions used in physics into cathedrals from stained glass. #MathArt #SciArt

If the TU Delft would take #RecognitionAndRewards seriously (which it only claims to do, as of now), it would also allow for #EverybodysTalent for #PhdStudents. You could then replace a publication by teaching, outreach, or another activity ... One dares to dream.

These are some lovely #domainColoring examples! A great way of #illustratingMath. We have just published a share reimplementing some of our results on donation coloring here: www.shadertoy.com/view/t3yfz3 (It's hearts 💕)

I can highly recommend the podcast. Listening as a mathematician, I learn about the cool #math that people work on. But listening as a non-mathematician, you get to know some mathematicians and how they work, think, and live. Because it's not just numbers 😉
