@brunozumbo.bsky.social’s new chapter has me thinking about math concepts that I have not checked in 15 yrs (my undergrad was in math and engineering ). I am enjoying this thoroughly. I forgot almost everything (don’t know I could do a proper integral) but what a joy to read. Thanks, Bruno!

Not exactly an academic post—but if you’re a #music lover, keep reading. Conferences are incredible opportunities for learning, networking, and sharing our work with colleagues. But they can also be a chance to pause, recharge, and enjoy the cultural life of the places that host us.

Insurance ≠ Healthcare

Violence is always unacceptable, and threats of violence have no place in public discourse. Our thoughts are with Charlie Kirk and his family.

I'm sick after seeing the video of Charlie Kirk being shot. Violence against civilians is never okay. Political violence — no matter who is hurt — will always beget worse political violence. And it has no place in our country.

Here’s what just happened: Trump sent a peace deal to Hamas, Hamas met to discuss it in Doha, where the U.S. is mediating talks and has a base,and Israel bombed them, presumably with US support.

This book was written at the time OpenAI was funded. Terrifying how darker our prospects have become ever after. Cant wait to read this 😶

#Seaweed farms are a dual solution for climate change & sustainable energy. - don't require freshwater, fertilizer, or arable land to grow, making it one of the most eco-friendly resources - naturally absorbs massive amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis helping 1/...

If not morally shocked, are you not at least insulted? Israel bombs a hospital. Kills several people, including a journalist. Rescuers & journalists rush to the scene. And then Israel bombs them. On live TV. And then Israel tells you they never target civilians, and were just trying to hit a camera.

We are excited to co-convene the #Climate & #Environmental #Justice theme in the upcoming #UKFIETconf! #UKFIET #Education for #Sustainability www.ukfiet.org/2025/un-lear...

Vicky is the future! I loved that in her speech she started by thanking ball kids. I also thought her speech was raw and real and brief yet reflecting depth and maturity. So glad to see her rise. #mboko #nationalnbankopen

CARLOS II, PRINCE OF CLAY 👑 #RolandGarros

Alcaraz wins the 4th set 7-6(3) against Jannik Sinner at Roland Garros. 3 championship points saved. Down a break. No words for what we’re seeing from Carlos right now… simply INCREDIBLE. One set to decide it all.

My husband and oldest kid rooting Sinner, me and my youngest rooting Alcaraz. This match is insane and we are all nervous :) #rolandgarros

Must listen to this interview, which touches on #ai #climate and also, #chile. Scary at best -> www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NzW...

The beauty of #fiction is not just the freedom to say or read things that ring true and may be controversial, but also the elegance with which some people articulate those things that we all feel or sense but can’t quite put into words. This is from #Orbital - a beautifully written novel.

Sharing this invite to what I hope is a fluid conversation about evaluating Girls' Ed and the many implications for measurement and for how we think about building skills for all students -> forms.office.com/pages/respon...

Pregnancy increases the risk of severe COVID. This is a bad policy and bad science

This intolerable attack on Harvard’s independence and academic freedom is plainly government retaliation for Harvard’s speech standing up for itself and the rule of law. America must rally to the side of Harvard and its students in court, in Congress and in our communities.

Excellent #freshed episode today. open.spotify.com/episode/1aSI...

Robert Francis Prevost will be the next pope and has taken the name Leo XIV. An American Pope. I hope he promotes unconditional love and service, especially towards the poor and marginalized. Let's pray.

What a MASSIVE political sign this is.

On Saturday, nearly 20,000 supporters of the Islamist organization Hefazat-e-Islam rallied in the streets of Bangladesh’s capital, Dhaka, to protest, among other issues, proposed government reforms to support gender equality and women’s rights.

I have convinced two friends of #running races and both have approached me to tell me how grateful they are for encouragement and that they would have never believed they were capable of doing it that well. So get yourself a good playlist or podcast, find a nice trail and surprise yourself ✨

This morning, a complaint was filed by lawyers at the Legal Defense Fund (LDF) on behalf of NCME and the National Academy of Education (NAEd) to protect measurement data and research. Learn more: www.ncme.org/blogs/ncme-h...

NCME sues to protect measurement data and research. "The law requires not only data access but data quality. For 88 years, our organization has upheld standards for valid measurements and measurement research. We do so again today.” @ncme38.bsky.social #NCME25 www.naacpldf.org/press-releas...

Who’s ready for #NCME2025?! The NCME Social Media Committee would like to remind everyone that today is the first day to participate in the #NCME2025PhotoContest. As a reminder, each winner will receive a limited-edition hat featuring the NCME logo!
