#MathSky I'm desperately looking for some genuine math-based clothing for my newborn daughter. I'm hoping to find some stuff made by someone in the community, I'm trying to avoid generic, mass-market kind of stuff found on Amazon and the like.

UPDATE: We have data on >1000 terminated #NSF grants at grant-watch.us. Thanks to all who have been contributing data the past few days. We've also added a "Reports" section with some analyses. For NSF, we see that the STEM education directorate has been absolutely pummeled.

Screenshot of table showing number of grants and total value terminated by NSF directorate. STEM Education directorate is highlighted, with 417 terminations totaling 322 million dollars.

There is no singular article that reflects the autocracy—and the rampant violations of the core rights and principles that go along with it—happening right now in the United States. However, stripping children away from a country they have a constitutional right to be in, and justifying it… (1/5)

The toddler, a U.S. citizen, was apparently sent to Honduras with her mother and 11-year-old sister, even as a federal judge tried to contact an attorney representing the government.

John Tuthill, a scientist who studies brain control of movement, was banned from NIH today due to Trump directives. He was scheduled to give a seminar about his work. But all visiting seminars have been banned. Exchanging ideas is the lifeblood of science, and this will harm progress. 🧪

I was supposed to give a talk in the NIH Neuroscience Seminar Series today, but it was cancelled because of Trump's executive orders. research.ninds.nih.gov/seminars-eve... Amongst the deluge, it seems that most Americans remain unaware that Trump is paralyzing the biomedical research community.

I signed up for Medium to read the article because I was curious to know if the tone of the piece matched the title. The article was actually quite nice and gave a diversity of explanations for the problem. Nevertheless, it's unfortunate that the writer… (1/6) #MathSky #iTeachMath #SciComm #EduSky

I’m not sure why math and statistics folks need to even insinuate this kind of meanness, but okay. #MathSky #stats

A screengrab of a Medium email. It describes an article by Chris Ferrie. There is a little circle that contains Chris Ferrie’s picture in the upper left of the screenshot. The title of the article is “If You Still Don’t Understand the Monty Hall Paradox, You Never Will”. The subtitle is “You are presented with three doors and know that…” The article is a 10 minute read. At the bottom of the screenshot, There is an icon of hands and to the right of that 1.5k, and then a word bubble icon to signify comments and a 50 next to it.
