QED goes global!!
This week gremlin Adi is in Brisbane, Australia for Queer and Trans Mathemticians in Combinatorics queertransmath.com/n/QTMC-2025/
A screenshot reading “Institute of Maths and its Applications” 8th IMA Conference on Mathematics in Defence and Security Mathematics for Decision Support”
Phillips Payne (BAE Systems) is product technical lead for mission effectiveness at BAE Systems, Air, supporting both current and future global combat air programmes. Based in the Chief Engineer’s Office, she helps ensure next-generation fighter heat integrate cutting-edge technology.
BAE systems. The worlds seventh largest weapons manufacturer, U.K. company BAE Systems manufactures the M109 howitzer, a 155mm mobile artillery system that the Israeli military has been using extensively, firing tens of thousands of 155mm shells into the Gaza Strip. Screenshot from afsc.org
BAE also manufactures electronic missile launching kits and other components for Israel’s F-15, F-16, and F-35 fighter jets, which the Israeli Air Force has used extensively in all of its attacks on Gaza, including in 2023. Screenshot from afsc.org
I don’t think that @ima-maths.bsky.social should be inviting speakers from BAE Systems to speak at their conference when BAE manufactures weapons which are used by Israel in the ongoing genocide in Palestine.
That sounds like Maths being complicit to me.
