I was one really bad math professor away from adding a math minor to my chemistry degree. And then in grad school, I went on to train as a synthetic organic chemist, the chemical specialty that probably uses the least math of all of them, nothing more than basic arithmetic and a tad of algebra!

Will do! I’m sure to gain inspiration for when I have students who shut down when they see numbers, which happens more often than I would like. I wish early elementary school teachers would all have a better grasp of math and be able to impart it to every student who passes through their classrooms.

I’m so looking forward to digging into it! Given that I enjoy math, I’m either exactly your target audience or exactly the opposite. What do we need to do to get people to stop saying they’re bad at math?

This should not be a controversial statement but if it’s Hitler (D) versus Trump (R) you vote third party and I DO NOT FUCKING CARE what you say about chances and throwing your vote away, you do not cast a vote for either of them.

I’m going rogue. If I’m eating a pear, I’ll take Comice, please.

I wondered if that might have been the case. But given that the ep was just released today, I was a bit surprised there wasn’t any addendum noting it. With nothing, it reads as though the issue is being swept under the rug.
