I had an enlightening conversation with mathematician Hannah Cairo about how she broke a huge conjecture in Harmonic Analysis at just 17 years old, what being a transgender mathematician means to her and how math has supported her along her journey! 🏳️‍⚧️ 🌊 ✨ Read the Q&A here:

Teen Hannah Cairo's Mathematical Discovery Sends Ripples through Harmonic Analysis

When she was just 17 years old, Hannah Cairo disproved the Mizohata-Takeuchi conjecture, breaking a four-decade-old mathematical assumption

It's Pride Month. I feel like it is important to recognise this in school, especially given recent developments at home and abroad. Here's two ways I'm doing that. LGBTQIA+ Mathematicians (new!): interwovenmaths.com/famous-mathe... Pride Flag Maths activities: interwovenmaths.com/pride-flag-m...

Also: 🔵 The Sullivan Review is not a peer-reviewed research output, it's a savvy piece of Sex Matters campaigning. 🔵 Where is the evidence that current datasets are 'corrupted' by public authorities' long-established approach to the collection, analysis and use of sex and gender data?

If you are free and in London next Tuesday evening, come listen to some truly phenomenal speakers (and me) on diversity in science communication! And it's free! www.ucl.ac.uk/sts/events/2...

two points on EHRC advice on trans people's use of public toilets: 1) trans people are being required to out themselves when using loo in public 2) how is it enforceable? What about cis people who don't conform to stereotypical appearance? it's shit. www.equalityhumanrights.com/media-centre...

🧵DISMANTLING DEMOCRACY I've been keeping track of Trump actions - now up to 192. Here, I dig into 69 actions specifically targeted at undermining democracy, rule of law & suppressing dissent. It's been 12 weeks of assaults on democracy. based on christinapagel.substack.com/p/a-republic... 1/18

Finally, there were various comments from viewers about how universities are just ivory ideas discussing abstract ideas and of no use to society. This was my defence of university & higher education

I was on DW News yesterday discussing Trump's attacks on science, and here is a clip where I was talking about the importance - and joy - of diversity in science.
