I am 2 wks into my new role as Associate Editor at AERA Open & loving the work! Supporting junior scholars w/ developing their writing for publication has always been a core value in my job. Thank you to the AERA Pubs Cmttee and the journal’s Editors-in-Chief & Managing Editors for this appointment.

In the back-to-school spirit, First-Day-of-Kindergarten Luis has a special reminder for all AERA SIG-RME proposal reviewers. Remind your math education colleagues, education friends & "elbow partners"! Thank you for your shared expertise & service to the field! 🤓 #MathEdSky #EducationSky #MathSky

As a chem-to-math major & now a STEM higher ed researcher, I resonated lots with Ego & Bowen reflecting on the qualms of navigating STEM culture in college. They remind me of my relationship with my college & present-day best friend Isha. We met in a first-year dorm full of STEM majors 20 years ago.

If you are submitting research and/or serving as an ad hoc reviewer these days, I recommend reading Horn and Kleiman's latest editorial in the "Journal for Research in Mathematics Education" about thoughtful and ethical engagement with AI.

Ilana Horn@ilanahorn.bsky.social · 2mo ago

My colleague Jennifer Kleiman and I wrote this editorial coming out of those discussions. We do not want to be reactive, but we also want to advise authors and reviewers on our best understanding of how to be ethical in AI use. tl;dr Humans are in charge, and should make their agency apparent.

You’re looking at your 2026 Cecil Memorial Lecture speaker at Smith College! Grateful for the opportunity to speak to young people and those who uplift them about these times of peril and hope. Let’s get into it!

Excellent perspective from @thejosevilson.com pushing back on community-building as a ‘soft skill’ in math learning: “There is nothing 'soft' about trying to build community. It’s actually hard to figure out what’s going on w/ a particular student that isn’t allowing them to connect to a problem.”
