The stratosphere is my favorite. I teach stats & math at Fitchburg State University. Arospec, she/her. Methodist. Texan/Oklahoman in the Northeast. Many sports, dance, books, roller coasters.

Yuma's short might be my favorite program this year (at least among the men). So glad this was excellent. ⛸️

#MathsToday Bifurcation day in Math of Climate! Lots of playing around with systems, getting more confident with stability, figuring out things.

Not a lot of energy in PoDA for talking about data visualization choices and meaning, but making a data dictionary for a dataset about themselves that they'd created on Day 1 went well!
In Applied Stats, not sure that splitting introducing diff sampling methods across days worked.

A weird thing about me is that I read A Well-Trained Mind at age 12 despite having no experience with classical education.
Anyway, I read this a few days ago and keep thinking about it.

A great-books model at the undergraduate level is, in fact, so consonant with Freire’s radical critique that it represents a far better path forward for a left-wing vision of education than virtually ...

The problems of the week I post in the dept vary a lot in how much attention they get, but this week's *really* caught a couple students. Diffy boxes/ Ducci sequences are great.

#MathsToday Started doing some data visualization with ggplot and exploring data dictionaries in PoDA. Could have used more structure on both of those, I think.
Pretty smooth intro to histogram descriptions in Applied Stats! Starting with something polygraph/guess who style is always solid there.

#MathsToday Stat Analysis students settled into R pretty well today! For Applied Stats, intro to histograms went well, but it seems like population parameter vs sample statistics will take a bit to solidify.

After seeing everyone's college course lists, my partner and I talked about the most influential courses we took.
My list:
*Modeling & Simulation of the Physical World
*Spectral Graph Theory
*Thermodynamics
*Nonlinear Dynamics & Chaos
*intro-level Anthropology
*Fictions of Childhood in 1800s France

#MathsToday got collectively stuck in Math of Climate (in a way that I realized afterwards was all of us failing at units, whoops), but did have a good if brief discussion of stability of equilibrium points! It's going to be fun to see what students figure out about the various 1D maps in their hw.

#MathsToday I didn't give Principles of Data Analysis students nearly enough time to talk through the different data representations they had looked at since last week (quilts, visceralization, scrollytelling). Not sure I prompted discussion particularly well, but they were all so insightful anyway!

What sits with me after this week of #AMS2026 is that despite everything we’ve seen over the last 12 months, the science is resilient. It is hurt and handicapped and hamstrung but it endures. And the students, despite EVERYTHING **still** want to work for NWS or in broadcasting.

Sometimes I read other people's course descriptions for transfer, curriculum comparison, etc., and the sheer scope of what some people are doing in one course stresses me out. *how*

The largest nurses' union is calling for the abolition of ICE and pledges to work to vote out any official who votes to fund them.
We're horrified & outraged: Immigration agents have once again committed cold-blooded murder of a public observer who posed no threat to them.
This time, they've executed a fellow nurse, Alex Pretti. We demand justice and accountability. Abolish ICE, now! https://bit.ly/4big77u
