Combinatorics friends and math friends in/near Pittsburgh, I invite you to attend "Combinatorics at the Confluence" July 2026! #MathSky Jul 20-22, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, Combinatorics at the Confluence combcon.github.io

The application deadline for this is today!

HMC mathematics professor @arvm.bsky.social has received an NSF grant that will fund geometric combinatorics research. Vindas Meléndez & his students will collaborate on original problems, many drawn from Ehrhart theory, which studies the properties of polytopes. uqr.to/nsf-gcr.

I have been trying to get this published as an op-ed, but I am going to post it here since I think it is timely in light of the "consent" extortion events. Deafening Quiet from the Scientific Establishment jeremymberg.github.io/jeremyberg.g... 1/14

The book—out this spring, and hence based solely on preorder—is <drum roll> #1 in public policy on Amazon WHAT IS HAPPENING. I am glad people are excited about the message and hope you will be too. Preorder link in comments.

Submitted my portfolio for full professor. What should I do to celebrate?

It was a terrible week, but I just tapped this American mild I brewed and it's the best beer I've made in a long long time. Maybe the best since I was in grad school.

Curious what a Team-Based Inquiry Learning lesson looks like? This paper is a deep dive into one explaining typical student thinking and facilitation moves. If this sounds interesting, we should have the 2025 editions of the activity books up on tbil.org next week.

Sometimes work takes you away from home on your birthday, but great friends and colleagues can make it a great day anyway. @drew-lewis.com @nativemath.bsky.social @oscarlevin.com etc etc

I am really happy to share that there will be a @nitmb.bsky.social workshop next year on mathematical and biological features of evolutionary game theory. It was really fun to co-organize this workshop with Olivia Chu, Alex McAvoy, and @jplotkin.bsky.social. www.nitmb.org/evolutionary...

I appreciate that my state assemblymember just sent out an email to her constituents about what to do if you are approached by ICE. That said, it is a clear symptom of the fact that we are now living under an authoritarian federal government. This is not a healthy democracy anymore.

Talking transfer at the Complete College America policy summit. Crazy stat: when students transfer they lose on average 43% of their credits. If that problem impacted most rich, White kids it would have been fixed years ago.

We’re pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Joseph Hibdon as the inaugural Rotating Associate Director for Convening Programs at NITMB! Dr. Hibdon joins NITMB from Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU), where he is an Associate Professor in the Mathematics Department tinyurl.com/2d386f9f

A lovely read ahead of #TheGradingConference in a few weeks. I especially loved "a bunch of quantitative legalese masquerading as pedagogy" as a turn of phrase—perhaps because it so accurately describes where I, and probably many others, started.

It's a long time coming, but CheckIt.clontz.org has been updated to v0.2.7. Major updates: - Canvas New Quizzes support - GitHub Codespaces support - New CLI (deprecating old CoCalc dashboard) Start authoring your exercise bank by using the new template bank at github.com/StevenClontz...
