Did you know we have a podcast? All six episodes of the TMiP Podcast, featuring case studies, interviews and idea sharing from maths communicators in our network, are available to listen to at https://tmip.uk/podcast. The next series will be starting in 2026!

Talking Maths in Public is a network for maths communicators in the UK and elsewhere, for sharing ideas, making contacts and raising standards in maths comm. Find out more, join our mailing list and chat community at talkingmathsinpublic.uk

This month's #MathsAnimationTMiP deadline is 15th September - if you can make a video showing how to create an animation of a Hilbert curve being drawn, submit it for our playlist and share your approach! Info and submission link at tmip.uk/animation

Thanks to everybody who took part in my #MathsInMuseums activity at #tmip25#MathsInMuseumsthis morning. Some people have sent me some of the ideas they had, and I'm hoping a few more will when they've recovered from the conference!

I'm home from #TMiP25. Was great to catch up with a lot of old faces and meet many new faces. I'm very very tired, but not the most tired I've ever been after working on an event with @steckl.es (see 24hourmaths.com)

Geometry, code & embroidery! Thank you @megjlow.bsky.social for a fantastic workshop at #tmip25! #joyfulmaths #momentofmaths

This show was so much fun! Hard to believe it was only 2 years ago that I did a lightning talk at @tmip.bsky.social entitled 'Do you wanna be in a band with me?' Now I have a wonderful community of people who love making maths music (most not pictured here). More to come soon, online and in person.

I've not been on here as much as I'd have liked lately - it turns out that being part of the @tmip.bsky.social committee becomes very full on and intense in the run up to and during the biennial conference. But #tmip25 is now done and dusted, so allow me to share a couple of highlights...

Had a great time at #TMiP25 on Thursday and Friday: met some old friends for the first time, caught up with others and even spoke with a couple of people I didn't know previously. Oh, and there were talks and stuff too.

Beaded Archimedean Solids!!! I had lots of fun over the past two weeks making these for the pigeonholes at the TMiP conference. [Each n-regular graph has an n-colouring and there's a pair of colours on each one which form a Hamiltonian cycle.] #TMiP25 #MathsArt #MathArt #Polyhedra

My Brian is fired from another great Talking Maths in Public conference! While I'm waiting for my train I'll see if I can post some coherent (if disordered) thoughts about the last couple of days spent at #tmip25. In no particular order...

I had a lovely time at @tmip.bsky.social this week! It was great to be part of this panel and reflect on my science communication career. On Monday it will be officially one year since I went full time freelance 🥳

Huge thanks again to our lovely sponsors for making it possible - thanks @uni-of-warwick.bsky.social for hosting, and @icms-edinburgh.bsky.social, @ima-maths.bsky.social, INI newton.ac.uk, MapleSoft.com and heilbronn.ac.uk for financial support with our event. #TMiP25

Today at #TMiP25, I'm at @TeaKayB#tmip25s session on maths in museums. (You should hire him.)

Kenilworth Books is a lovely shop. The team ran a very popular book stall at the Talking Maths in Public conference over the last couple of days, and were so nice. It was a real pleasure to work with them. #tmip25

Today's our final day of #TMiP25, with a morning of fun maths activities around the city, followed by a lunch buffet at Coventry Transport Museum. We hope everyone has enjoyed the conference, and thanks to everyone who made it happen!

Up early this morning to walk πkm as the first in a list of amazing Saturday Morning Activities at #Tmip25

Yesterday I saw a question here about mixed partial derivatives and it got me thinking about how a surface might or might not have d^2 f / dx dy = 0 if we rotate it. Today I saw these two ruled surfaces at #TMiP25 made by Laura Bradby. No such thing as coincidence in maths!

Hope everyone else is having a great time at #tmip25. One thing I love is how much of the discussion on the hashtag is about the mathematical music last night, and the mathematical art on display - proof if it were needed that creativity and mathematics go hand in hand

Excited to be part of the maths art exhibition at Talking Maths in Public at the University of Warwick!! 🧶 🧮 #MathSky #embroidery #handembroidery #TMiP2025 #TMiP25

TIL, via Ayliean at #tmip25, that the octahedron is the only platonic solid you can make from a single modelling balloon.

Enjoying @kityates 's workshop at #tmip25 , especially the idea that the restriction on writing a book on maths and football is that not everyone likes football.

I bet a lot of people think they have a clear idea of what goes on at a #maths conference. Anyway, today at #TMiP25 I attended an embroidery workshop. #mathstoday

Really impressed by the brilliant designs created by #TMIP25 participants at our Geometry, Code and #Embroidery workshop today with @philjemmett.bsky.social I'm running a free online introductory workshop 17th Sept 4–5pm. Registration & resources: www.warwick.ac.uk/turtlestitch #maths #computing

One of the most interesting things for me today at #tmip25 was comparing Chris Head's comedy structure (Setup / Hook / Escalation / Payoff) with @kityates's article structure (Headline / Hook / Context / Argument / Conclusion) .

Day 2 of #TMiP25 starts with another round of lightning talks, introduced by our Day 2 compere @onlinekyne.bsky.social. Then we'll have a stand-up comedy session with Chris Head, sharing how to apply techniques from stand-up to maths communication. 1/3

It's the first day of #TMiP25, and maths communicators from all over the UK and elsewhere have come together to share ideas, pick up new skills and make connections. Our compere for today is the wonderful @katdoesmaths.bsky.social, and we have a full day of sessions planned! 1/3

We’re extremely proud of the fab programme we’ve put together for the #TMiP25 conference this week, including training workshops, discussions and networking activities - and remote attendance tickets are still available for only £30 - see our website at http://www.tmip.uk#TMiP25for more information.

For anyone posting about the @TMiP.bsky.social conference this week, we’re using the hashtag #TMiP25 to keep in touch, so please use it in your posts! It’d be great to see what people are up to (with the permission of anyone featured) and hear what people are looking forward to this week.

Our event is very soon! Time to thank our wonderful sponsors again - thanks to @uni-of-warwick.bsky.social for hosting, and to @icms-edinburgh.bsky.social, @ima-maths.bsky.social, INI newton.ac.uk, MapleSoft.com and heilbronn.ac.uk for financial support with our event.

If you’re coming to #TMiP25 next week, don’t forget we have a swap table: bring the maths outreach resources cluttering up your cupboard because you haven’t used them in ages, and swap them for something new you can use to talk about maths! https://tmip.uk

Final emails have gone out to our #TMiP25 Conference attendees ahead of next week's event - if you haven't had the info through, check your spam folder! Looking forward to seeing you all.

I can highly recommend the #pod. Cool and insightful conversations and great content overall, featuring @steckl.es and @peterrowlett.net among others.
