I have two heroes: Keith Jarrett and Haruki Murakami. I was lucky to have met one of them. I told him that his writing is very close to a mathematician's heart; like his characters, we constantly slip in an out of the surreal, the otherworldly – that's what doing abstract mathematics requires.

"There's my mathematician!," Clinton said when she saw me. We had a lovely conversation about math, democracy, my book, and Bosnia. Also met and chatted with @repemilyrandall.bsky.social, another amazing Wellesley alumna.

Between Two Ferns with Zach G.? No, just an amazing discussion about the role of academic research in democracy reform.

I was interviewed for this article about gerrymandering, but don't really know what it says since it's behind a paywall. I'm assuming it says gerrymandering is bad and math is the only thing that can save us. expresso.pt/internaciona...
