Professor Ulrike Tillmann, Chair of the Royal Society Education Committee, responds to the Curriculum and Assessment Review 2025: royalsociety.org/news/2025/11...

🎓 We are excited to announce our revamped Education grant schemes, which aim to support colleagues building a teaching and scholarship profile within higher education mathematics. Deadline: 26 January 2026 For further details ➡️ www.lms.ac.uk/news/teachin...

My furthest work trip north* in the UK today, visiting @uniofaberdeen.bsky.social to give a seminar talk. Very misty and atmospheric on the journey up! (* I think, though it must be close with the conference I went to on Skye some years ago.)

NEW VIDEO @marcusdusautoy.bsky.social uncovers the deep connection between mathematics and the arts, featuring a live musical performance. www.youtube.com/watch?v=thc2...

New Blog Post: "Opening Up Mathematics" by Jan E. Grabowski (@jan-e-grabowski.bsky.social) discusses the importance of publishing Open Access, and the impact that this can have. Blog: buff.ly/a906szg Book: buff.ly/Y4dFoxM

All of us at @lancasteruni.bsky.social welcome today's report showing the effect of University Maths Schools on young people and their regions. @umathsnetwork.bsky.social www.lancaster.ac.uk/news/lancast...

A new study by the Observatory for Mathematical Education, commissioned by U-Maths, finds that students at these schools achieve higher A Level grades and are significantly more likely to progress to the UK’s most selective STEM universities than comparable students elsewhere. bit.ly/OME-Report

🚨 @fftedudatalab.bsky.social shows only 9% of disadvantaged pupils with strong primary maths skills achieve a B+ at A-Level. The research shows where pupils fall away. Our own research shows why: disengagement arrives early in secondary school. 👉 Read more in our CEO’s op-ed in Tes or our blog.

Thanks, @lancasteruni.bsky.social Library! www.lancaster.ac.uk/library/news...

What can employers do to create a more inclusive environment? In a new guest blog, Dr Frankie Doddato, physicist at Lancaster University, writes on the vital role of the National Association of Disabled Staff Networks, and its STEMM Action Group: www.britishscienceassociation.org/Blog/disable...

Today is OBP's 17 year anniversary! We have... published 434 books; received 24 awards; surpassed 250 book reviews & 380 endorsements; worked on software development projects; and amassed 273 member libraries. The code 17OBP2025 provides 17% off our books, available for 17 days! buff.ly/8tQiAjG

OUT NOW: Aimed at undergraduate students with prior exposure to linear algebra and basic group theory, this textbook by @jan-e-grabowski.bsky.social offers a fresh and modern introduction to one of abstract algebra’s key topics. buff.ly/9qAwPZY

I'm delighted to have fulfilled a long-held ambition to publish a book: "Representation Theory. A Categorical Approach" is out now, available Open Access at doi.org/10.11647/OBP.... I owe particular thanks to the publishers @openbookpublish.bsky.social and the referees for all their contributions.

The Sylvester Medal 2025 is awarded to Professor Sir Martin Hairer FRS for profound contributions to the fields of probability and analysis, as one of the leading figures in stochastic partial differential equations. #RSMedals https://royalsociety.org/medals-and-prizes/sylvester-medal/

A very special day today, celebrating the achievements of my former student Wookyung Kim on the occasion of his PhD graduation at @lancasteruni.bsky.social. Congratulations to him and all the graduates from the Faculty of Science and Technology and especially the School of Mathematical Sciences.

All set and ready to go for the conference I'm co-organising this week. sites.google.com/view/a-quant...

🚨Calling all UK-based researchers (of any discipline) and public engagement professionals! Help us better understand the factors affecting public engagement by taking part in The Royal Society's survey👇 www.research.net/r/RS_public_...

Very enjoyable day in Manchester today, giving the Algebra seminar at the Department of Mathematics at @uniofmanchester.bsky.social, talking about my work with Matthew Pressland (Caen) and catching up with a variety of colleagues. Plus a bit of trying to implement the old classic (time+coffee=maths)

Today I was asked in an interview about folks who use the weirdness of ✨quantum✨ to hawk pseudoscience junk. I think that kind of grift proliferates because of a big misunderstanding a lot of folks have about quantum mechanics, which is not really their fault! 🧵

Just finished The Moonlight Market by @joannechocolat.bsky.social - highly recommend! A sideways step into a world that could be (is??) ours and the writing has beautiful cadences, evocative of stories from our childhood but for us now. Slightly regretting reading it so quickly but couldn't help it.

Ooh, a(nother) Numberphile video on friezes! Great to see Eleonore talking about this - it's closely related to things I study too. Thanks, @bradyharan.bsky.social ! www.numberphile.com/videos/fract...

People seem to like libraries a lot here (with which I cannot disagree), so as a first post, here's (part of) me in my "local". I'm very fortunate to have a university library, and one of this quality, easily accessible to me. Yes, I'm reading on a device not paper; I am hopeful not to be judged...
