A wonderful interview 😍
I had an enlightening conversation with mathematician Hannah Cairo about how she broke a huge conjecture in Harmonic Analysis at just 17 years old, what being a transgender mathematician means to her and how math has supported her along her journey! 🏳️⚧️ 🌊 ✨

Hey everyone, Trans Actual are collecting responses to the EHRC consultation because it sounds likely they're going to try and obscure them
If you saved them (a good idea if you haven't filled it in yet!) please can you email the address below with them! I personally trust Trans Actual and Helen

This is why it's important that we collect people's responses. If you can, when you've completed the "consultation", please send your answers to TransActual - policy@transactual.org.uk - so we can ensure that government sees your answers. 1/2

I’ve heard EHRC consultation responses will likely be outsourced to a company that will use AI to read them.
So, whilst using templates is convenient and less stressful, responses must be sufficiently individual to not be considered mass produced or copies, or they won’t be counted.

There is a false dichotomy drawn between "the ivory tower" and "the real world," and I'm here to report that in a post-industrial society, your real-world economy absolutely hinges on the university.
University towns are factory towns. Universities drive economic activity, not the other way around.
