No episode this week! We are somewhere between an editing bottleneck, traveling to too many conferences, and fortunately giving several talks.
This is not an April Fools joke. Not all of the fools are born in April. We will be back to our regular Tuesday schedule next week!

In this episode, @profnoahgian.bsky.social and I got to chat with Hortensia Soto, former @joinmaa.bsky.social president. She challenged the way people think about mathematics, and we get to see how interconnected it is.
Also, will academia start to catch up with the tech world?
Our latest episode of the mini-series is out today! Check it out. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
Did you know #FlorenceNightingale wasn’t just the lady with the lamp, she was also a pioneering statistician and the first female fellow of @royalstatsoc.bsky.social?

If you think politics has nothing to do with math… think again. Gerrymandering, fair representation, and even AI policy all hinge on math.

Happy Pi Day!
The latest episode in my new 4-part mini-series for #WomensHistoryMonth with @1autumnleaf.bsky.social @breakingmath.bsky.social is out now. We look at how women changed the fields of economics, medicine, accountancy and banking. In this episode, we spotlight #AnnaSchwartz @nber.org
When the Great Depression hit, economists argued about why. Anna Schwartz built the data to prove it.
Learn more about Anna Schwartz in the second Women in #Math History Mini-Series with @vnbateman.bsky.social and @1autumnleaf.bsky.social

Happy Birthday @profnoahgian.bsky.social!!! 🤴
I’m incredibly grateful that Breaking Math brought our paths together. Some of the best moments have been behind the scenes where math somehow turns into life advice and laughter.
Here’s to another year of curiosity, big ideas, and shenanigans.
Happy π - ε day! Actually, we need to wish @profnoahgian.bsky.social a Happy Birthday! 🤭
We suppose π - ε = 🎂🍰 now!
Ok. We 💖 you, Noah! Byee.
Can AI actually prove new mathematics?
Lauren K. Williams and a group of mathematicians decided to test it with an experiment called First Proof.
The results were fascinating.

Leadership isn’t about having a title.
It’s about asking for what doesn’t exist yet.
Former @amermathsoc.bsky.social President, Bryna Kra said: “If one doesn’t ask, it doesn’t happen.”
Sometimes the bravest move is asking for what you want. Thank you for forging the path for others. #math
“If one doesn’t ask, it doesn’t happen.”
Former @amermathsoc.bsky.social President, Bryna Kra talks about leadership, institutional change, and why silence is the biggest risk facing mathematics today.
A powerful conversation about courage and responsibility.

Mathematics isn’t a list of results.
It’s a centuries-long human search for extremes.
