For anyone posting about the @TMiPUK conference this week, we’re using the hashtag #TMiP23 to keep in touch, so please use it in your posts! It’d be great to see what people are up to (with the permission of anyone featured) and hear what people are looking forward to this week.

If you’re setting off for #TMiP23 today, don’t forget to take a COVID test before you set off, or before joining us at the event, to help us keep everyone safe. If your test is positive, contact the organisers (info@talkingmathsinpublic.uk) about joining remotely instead.

If you’re coming to @TMiPUK next week, don’t forget we have a swap table: bring the maths outreach resources cluttering up your cupboard because you haven’t used them in ages, and swap them for something new you can use to talk about maths!

It’s so close now! Still just time to bag a ticket for TMiP 2023, where you can meet and network with other maths communicators, upgrade your skills and learn some new tricks:

Need a publicity headshot? Attendees at TMiP2023 can get their photograph taken professionally – FOR FREE! It’s almost worth the conference fee. To celebrate, here's a thread of previous TMiP headshots seen in the wild.

Taking a break from maternity leave to attend a special @Ri_Science #RiMasterclasses event at @MathsatBath - loads of fun exploring the maths of polyhedra & spirographs so far! Who knew planetary orbits are just like spirographs? Thanks to @samkampo & @jennypowerhour @SAMBa_CDT

Huge thanks to the organisations making it possible, and to my co-organisers - I can take very little organisational credit so far this year (been busy growing a small human to the point of making disgusted broccoli faces) so am completely unbiased in saying it'll be excellent

Loved @Hana_SciArt's #MathsArtChallenge on @24hmaths, such great competitors! Loads of inspiration for my next set of black and white drawings to keep The Daughter entertained for approx 10 seconds (yes, everything in my life currently revolves around the tiny human)
