I am still in research and in academia because I found community in the WinCompTop research network. Beautiful work in the April Notices putting numbers behind the impact of these important networks.

Finally found a pic of Sayan on my camera roll, with his characteristic grin and one of his million graphic t-shirts

Here they are above my glass board.
An image of an office with a glass board with math on it. Above are four cross stitched samplers with Federico Ardila's axioms on them.

So it honestly took longer to frame than to actually make, but I finally finished stitching Federico Ardila's axioms for my office! #mathsky
A cross stitch sampler with flowers that reads: Axiom 1. Mathematical potential is equally present in different groups irrespective of geographic, demographic, and economic boundaries. A cross stitch sampler with flowers that reads: Axiom 2. Everyone can have joyful, meaningful, and empowering mathematical experiences. A cross stitch sampler with flowers that reads: Axiom 3. Mathematics is a powerful, malleable tool that can be shaped and used differently by various communities to serve their needs. A cross stitch sampler with flowers that reads: Axiom 4. Every student deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.

Ok, I know the world is burning, but my Escape Room team from the Spring Topology and Dynamics Conference got out so quickly we made it on the wall!
