“Becoming part of a mentoring scheme is also some of the advice I would give to my 18-year-old self too — to look out for networking opportunities and mentorship programmes; to find people who have chosen a similar path.” - Christina Runkel

Third week of retirement and Lothar is doing much better. The sun is shining and the research project I came up with (to distract him) is going well, just like our first paper together. FIngers crossed we can finish this as fast.

In theory it could go on arxiv for our 35th anniversary 🥰.

Another highlight from the #illustratingMath trimester at the Institut Henri Poincaré this month was a visit to the @palaisdecouverte.bsky.social . We had a great time with Robin, who showed us the different items from their mathematical cabinet of curiosities. Visit them if you have the chance!
A person stands in a modern science exhibit space with their arms outstretched as if welcoming visitors. They are wearing a red shirt and loose-fitting pink trousers. Behind them is an intricate wall of geometric wooden shelving shaped like hexagons and trapezoids, filled with scientific models, a chalkboard, and a large glass terrarium containing lush green plants. A close-up of three curved, horn-shaped metal sculptures resting on a light-colored wooden table. The sculptures have a distinct weathered green patina and are hollow at the ends. The table surface features a decorative pattern of small, recessed circles. In the background, the lower half of a person sitting at the table is partially visible. A wide-angle view of a bustling, high-ceilinged museum room filled with visitors. A long, curving banner displaying an extensive sequence of the digits of Pi hangs prominently from the ceiling. People are scattered throughout the space, interacting with exhibits and gathered around wooden tables etched with branching patterns. The room is framed by wooden walls and geometric shelving packed with scientific displays. A view through an open bright orange door into a museum gallery. Above the doorway, a backlit sign reads "BIOLOGIE & MATHÉMATIQUES 3" in French. Inside the dimly lit room, several people are gathered in conversation. The exterior wall is made of horizontal wooden planks, creating a warm, workshop-like atmosphere.

100 % agree, especially for #firstgen students support networks & mentoring programmes can make a huge difference. 🤍

5 years ago today, Her Maths Story went live with our 1st story. What started as a small idea has grown into a global, supportive community celebrating #WomenInMaths. We’re deeply grateful to everyone who has shared, read, supported & believed in this journey. Here’s to the stories still to come 💛✨
A dark blue celebratory graphic marking the 5-year anniversary of Her Maths Story. The HMS logo appears at the top. Large white text reads “5 years” in the centre, surrounded by yellow star shapes. Additional text highlights milestones: 99 contributors, 200K website visitors, 194 countries reached via the website, and 4.9K followers across social media platforms.

"I read a lot of mathematical literature and noticed with regret that, over the course of history, presentations had become more sober and formal, and that human emotions and accompanying epistemological considerations had been largely stripped away in the face of mathematical discoveries." 👈

Theorem of the Day (January 11, 2026) : The First Isomorphism Theorem
Source : Theorem of the Day / Robin Whitty
pdf : buff.ly/OQDs037
notes : buff.ly/nTMgSaw

#mathematics #maths #math #theorem
Comprehensive presentation of the "Theorem of the Day", starting with a statement of this theorem. The First Isomorphism Theorem : Let G and H be groups and f : G → H a homomorphism of G to H with image Im(f) and kernel ker(f). Then G/ ker(f) and Im(f) are isomorphic groups: G/ ker(f) ≃ Im(f).

After a cosy winter break, Her Maths Story is kicking off the new year - and we’re excited to welcome Marta Lazzaretti to the team who will be taking care of our social media channels.
Here’s to a new chapter and a great year ahead 💜

#hermathsstory
There is a picture of Marta Lazzaretti on the top left, next to it there’s is a text saying “meet our new team member: Marta Lazzaretti” and below is a grey box with information on her education, background, expertise, passion and a quote.
