We wouldn't let it Lie. When making student lectures publicly available we like to predict (technical term for guess) which will do well. We'd be Lieing if we said we had Jason Lotay's Lie Groups lectures among the most popular. But they are. Lie Group G2:

It took me WAY too long to realize that this was about a pair of researchers at University of Houston (UH), and not that the headline was stalling to find a euphemism for what they REALLY are. The Internet has ruined me.

Meet the dhole. This Asian canid typically lives in groups of ~12 individuals—sometimes forming “super packs” of 30+ members with other groups. Teamwork enables them to hunt prey 10x their size. Dholes allow their pups to feed first on kills. Photo: Subramanya C K, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons

We like a game of cricket in Oxford Mathematics. We even used to have a Pure Maths v Applied Maths annual game. Anyway, to the point. Cricket sees a bowler bouncing a ball at a batter. So you'd think the most famous cricket pitch in the world would be flat. Sam Howison is at the crease.

Took a quick trip to Chaco Canyon on my way to Gallup last week. The roads weren't as bad as they have been in the past. I entered from the east (Nageezi) and headed to Gallup via the dirt road to Seven Lakes. No other vehicles on that route.

Last summer, we added this bronze cast of a Hypsilophodon skeleton to our new gardens. It’s the most accurate Hypsilophodon reconstruction ever created! Cutting-edge research by our scientists allowed our team to work out what the skull looked like to a new level of detail. 😲
