It's Giving Tuesday❄️! This is the most important day for us this year, so please consider giving or SHARING our fundraiser. :) We empower people in prisons to study math and computer science, meaning your money 🪙 goes to concretely helping incarcerated people on the ground.

Are you a senior grad student or postdoc looking for peer support as you transition into an independent career? Today we introduce the newest offering of the SMB academic year mentoring program - the SMB postdoc cohort communities! Today at 11:00 am! #SMB2024

What's the argument for keeping candidate job talks secret? #AcademicTwitter

Libraries rule. Got a library card then borrowed a hard-to-find documentary DVD and an otherwise expensive book for free

We're up to $300 USD, which allows 5 incarcerated people to learn math for a year! Can we get that to $400? ☃️

How should a government distribute resources to curb epidemics across 2 cities? Excited to share this article I co-authored with an @amermathsoc math research community: The effect of governance structures on optimal control of two-patch epidemic models https://t.co/Ozh5EgTVCB

If our ʻōhiʻa grow up, they will do profound things: combat climate change, replenish our watersheds, restore biodiversity. Let’s make sure it’s when—not if—for plants like ʻōhiʻa. 🌱 Help our plants grow up: https://t.co/kttb2dgYre

Indigenous notions of community often encompass not only people, but place as well. Until academic leaders understand that and shift their hiring culture accordingly, I think we will continue to struggle to increase the representation of Indigenous folks in the academy.
