If you want to know where the best leaf peeping will be this year, climate science and weather can provide the answer

Wanna dive into a delightfully nerdy corner of math? 🧵🪢⭕ Knot theory is a growing field with deep ideas and surprising connections—and in my new piece for @sciam.bsky.social, you can try it out yourself through interactive puzzles! I had so much fun with this new format. Hope you enjoy it too!

www.scientificamerican.com/article/subl... Funky fact about the way that AI learns. I had a lot of fun writing this piece for @sciam.bsky.social

Writing stories like this for @sciam.bsky.social, and getting to speak to all the people involved who are brilliant and so committed to making other people's lives better always gives me hope. I hope you all enjoy! 🧪🧠

It's a weekly seminar held at the CUNY Graduate Center. We have talks, workshops, discussions, etc. all about topics in math education and communication. Some sessions are focused on prepping for teaching or talks, others are aspirational, and some are just fun, like our math art show-and-tell!

I'm organizing the CUNY Math Ed/Comm Seminar for its second year ever!

A refreshingly nuanced take on AI v. the International Math Olympiad by none other than Emily Riehl (@emilyriehl.bsky.social) for @sciam.bsky.social

Pick-up Sticks, Probability, and Pinecones, oh my! (My newest math article for @sciam.bsky.social) www.scientificamerican.com/article/stud... #mathsky #probability

I had an enlightening conversation with mathematician Hannah Cairo about how she broke a huge conjecture in Harmonic Analysis at just 17 years old, what being a transgender mathematician means to her and how math has supported her along her journey! 🏳️‍⚧️ 🌊 ✨ Read the Q&A here:

Smooth-rolling knots! At @markpauly.bsky.social’s lab, we found a way to optimize knots for smooth rolling. I presented our work at Bridges 2025 – the conference for #MathArt. More below ↓

Experts I spoke to say mathematicians and those who care about them need to speak to their representatives—we as mathematicians aren't always accustomed to advocating for ourselves and our research to the public, but there's no time like the present! 🧮

Math is in crisis. The NSF claims the over $80M in cuts is due to "changing priorities" but when asked how math fits to their new priorities they said it is "required to advance future discoveries in every critical technology area." What gives??? www.scientificamerican.com/article/can-...

I spoke with @standupmaths.bsky.social earlier this summer about his epic new quest—calculating Pi on the Moon! 🚀🌘

I can't quite pinpoint why, but a certain book by @scalzi.com is going through my head as I contemplate this headline...
