Listening to @benblumsmith.bsky.social - Math and Democracy is a big tent & there are many ways to get involved. Was just talking to @victorpiercey.bsky.social about wanting to expand math and democracy convos beyond voting apportionment (though that is also important!) #jmm2026

New from me for @science.org: A major planetary science conference will require submitted abstracts to comply with Trump's anti-DEI executive orders.
This conference, LPSC, is a big deal. It's been running since 1970 and is one of the biggest planetary science conferences out there. 🧪🔭

Our book was highlighted today!! Crowdsourced advice from lots of people. It's like having several mentors. Great for high school students thinking about majoring as well as all levels of Undergraduate.

I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.

there are basically not enough republican voters to create enough safe seats to withstand the kind of wave that, for example, turned virginia into a democratic supermajority state for the first time in the modern era of its politics
