This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

Session 1 of our Speaker Series, by @pamseda1.bsky.social, got Session 3's @jennalaib.bsky.social thinking: "When does it make sense to change [cultural] elements?... The answer isn’t a checklist or a directive. It’s a stance... I strive for intentionality & balance... Why this shift? & for whom?

Culture & Identity in the Math Classroom

How do elements of the culture students bring into the classroom interact with the classroom culture we create? What does it mean to shift or honor them? Earlier this week, I watched the first sess…

I have two books by an author, Keh-Gong Shih, pub in 1996 that are just brilliant! But they are definitely lost. The first is PIctorial Mathematics: Patterns. It is fabulous! full of images like this. He created his own software called Mathgraf which is used to generate the images. #mathart #mtbos

This is a real sign from a real deli near the Wesleyan math department, and they put it up because the mathematicians were too engrossed in their mathematics discussions to efficiently order sandwiches. www.cbc.ca/radio/asitha...

When Professor Anna Haensch saw the sign, she knew someone at the university's math department had to be responsible.

nobody wants to hear about your problems

Sign on wall reads “PLEASE REFRAIN from Discussing MATHEMATICS while waiting in LINE.”
