There probably was someone called Emily Wilson who wrote a critical review of Nolan’s Odyssey, but most of what we now think of as “Wilson’s review’ is probably the result of codifying a long tradition of anonymous Bluesky posting.

While the Fields Medal celebrates the under-40s, the mathematician Joan Birman has, at the age of 99, solved a major open problem in representations of the Braid groups, a topic she has worked on for more than 60 years.

Over the course of 2025, UKB researchers were forced to move all of their data analysis to the cloud rather than working with local copies. What was the effect of this move on scientific output? Here is a simple first pass at answering that question.

Alt S2 opening storyline for Blackbeard that just occurred to me: Upset about Stede having left him, trying to reinvent himself while having a broken heart, he gets drunk one night, grabs a knife, and gives himself bangs. Everyone must compliment his new look because they’re terrified of him.

So the mathematician's answer is that humans have either seven or eight holes. Topologically speaking, our bodies are less like Swiss cheese and more like a carefully constructed onesie for an octopus. 9/10

It's 20 December and here in London we have 17 hours of darkness. so, as I do, I commend to you Sing For The Coming of the Longest Night, co-written by me & my bff @krfabian.bsky.social: a solstice poly romance, complete with jolly vicars, haunted theremins, & deep, sweet, weird-ancient magic. ❄️🎄🏳️‍🌈

Book cover: Sing for the Coming of the Longest Night, by Katherine Fabian and Iona Datt Sharma (a deep blue background, silver text and a sprig of holly)text: The world you know is underneath the substance of another, with cracks in the firmament that let the light of its magic in… Layla and Nat have nothing in common but their boyfriend – enigmatic, brilliant Meraud – and their deep mutual dislike. But when Meraud disappears after an ambitious magical experiment goes wrong, they may be the only ones who can follow the trail of cryptic clues that will bring him safely home. To return Meraud to this world, the two of them will confront every obstacle: the magic of the wild unknowable, a friendly vicar who’s only concerned for their spiritual wellbeing, and even the Thames Water helpline. All of which would be doable, if only they didn’t have to do it together. But the winter solstice is fast approaching – and once the year turns, Meraud will be lost forever. As buried secrets lead to unexpected revelations, Nat and Layla must find a way to overcome their differences before it’s too late.

Friend shared a letter they have sent to girl guides. It ended with something that hit me hard: I will continue to do my best, I just wish you could have done so too. :'(
