This is pretty promising research. It may offer some hope for those already enduring the crippling disease of Alzheimer's, as well as their care-giving families. Wishing these results are transferable to humans, and expeditiously so. www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2025/oc...

Designed three interlocking squares that come together in an octahedron. LEDs will be involved at some point.

Made homeopathic coffee today. Recipe: run water through a coffee maker that has the memory of coffee, into a pot with memory of coffee. For the record: it's equally effective as medicinal homeopathy.

Motherhood reminds us that the deepest forms of love are rarely transactional. To nurture is to stay, to soften, to hold, to believe in someone’s becoming without needing credit in return. Today I celebrate that care remains one of the most radical human acts.

Yes! Lovely complexity from simplicity. #mathsky

your moment of calm: two mallard ducks who are enjoying a respite in the neighbor's yard (!?), quite unexpectedly; i have filled the raccoons' kiddie pool in case they care for a dip over here later.

Hi! I'm Jess Hewitt, an abstract generative artist.

I've never been on a cruise, so I'm probably wrong to think that they're like international science experiments.

Wikipedia truly is an amazing resource. Someone actually took the time to list, link, and categorize mathematical art software. #mathart en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

So I tried to turn a surface parametrization into a crochet pattern by tracking the arclengths along both parameters. u is the direction of my crochet lines, I need to drop or gain stitches to match the length. 1/2

Reading “Infinite Powers” by Steven Strogatz, in which he uses the phrase “intellectually promiscuous” in reference to applied mathematicians. Ooh! I truly embrace that, knowing that’s as spicy a description of myself as I’ll ever publicly admit to.

Made some new stickers. Last image is of all my stickers.

Here’s a clip of me finishing up an 18-crossing braid link pattern on a 7-layer Rubik’s cube.

I've learned that when an idea pops in my head, it's sometimes more efficient to just draw it than to let it keep needling at me.

There's also a compelling counterargument that uncompromising acceptance of and accommodation for neurodiversity is an essential requirement for guaranteeing our mutual survival.

From a kid perspective, going to the doctor sucks. Shots. Cold stethoscopes. Weird questions. All of it. My philosophy? Bring joy. Embrace humor as a part of the interaction when appropriate. Talk to the KIDS and the parents. Goodness will follow. #pedsky #graphicmedicine
