A vibrant, composite portrait of the brilliant Iranian mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani (1977–2017), the first woman and first Iranian to win the Fields Medal. She is shown in a close-up head-and-shoulders view, facing the camera with a gentle, thoughtful expression—short brown hair, bright blue eyes, and a calm smile. She wears a navy blue fleece over a teal/green collared shirt. Overlaid transparently behind and around her is a dense blackboard filled with intricate handwritten mathematical equations in white chalk, featuring complex expressions involving binomial coefficients (e.g., n! / (k!(n-k)!)), factorials, summations, powers, and terms suggestive of hypergeometric series or combinatorial identities. The equations partially surround and frame her face, symbolizing her deep immersion in advanced mathematics, particularly in hyperbolic geometry, Teichmüller theory, and dynamical systems, while evoking the creative, exploratory nature of her work as a Stanford professor and groundbreaking researcher.

Remembering Dr. Maryam Mirzakhani on #WorldCancerDay.

Dr. Mirzakhani was first woman to win the Fields Medal, the most prestigious award in #mathematics. She died in 2017 from #breastcancer at the age of 40.

Good luck, I cannot ignore the whimpering

Looks delicious

You are the best

Probably, but they were likely wise enough to convince moron to keep his mouth shut

I am afraid you are right

A stylized illustration shows four wide-eyed, cartoon-like musicians seated on curling, wave-shaped ground beneath a dramatic, cloudy sky. From left to right: one plays a stringed instrument resembling a mandolin, another stands playing bagpipes while wearing a kilt and top hat, the third plays an accordion, and the fourth beats a hand drum. The landscape around them twists into dark, spiraling shapes, giving a surreal, ominous feel despite the whimsical character designs. At the bottom of the image, decorative text reads: “The Four Musicians of the Apocalypse.” BY UNKNOWN CARTOONIST

Then God said, “And behold, when the fourth seal was opened, there arose four upon the crest of the storm: pipes skirling doom, bellows wheezing famine, strings twanging conquest, drum thundering regret. Power given to afflict the earth with cursed reel forever.”

Wishing you all a really lovely Sunday 25 January :)

I hope you have a lovely day and that this Sunday is kind to you :)

Excellent question

Take care, be safe

What is wrong with these people

A side-by-side comparison image highlighting the iconic "Rosie the Riveter" symbol. On the left is the famous 1943 World War II motivational poster by J. Howard Miller titled "We Can Do It!" featuring a determined young woman in a blue work shirt with rolled-up sleeves, flexing her right arm to show her bicep, wearing a red polka-dot bandana tied around her head, and a determined expression. She is set against a bright yellow background with a bold blue speech bubble overhead containing the white text "We Can Do It!" in capital letters. On the right is a color portrait of Naomi Parker Fraley taken later in her life. She has white/gray hair partially covered by a red polka-dot bandana tied in the classic Rosie style, fair skin, red lipstick, and a thoughtful, gentle expression. She rests her chin on her right hand (with curled fingers), while her left arm is bent in a supportive pose beneath it, wearing a solid blue shirt or jacket that echoes the poster's workwear. The background is a warm solid yellow, creating a direct visual parallel to the poster on the left. This split layout powerfully connects the historical illustration to the actual woman whose 1942 wartime photograph inspired it, symbolizing strength, resilience, and the legacy of women in the workforce during World War II.

Naomi Parker-Fraley died #OTD in 2018 at age 96.

At 90, she learned she was the inspiration for "Rosie the Riveter," a cultural icon symbolizing the millions of American women who worked in factories & shipyards during #WWII.

He is a disgrace

Reward for a hard day’s work

What the hell

We must make it stop

This is psycho

Everybody knows Franz Kafka, but almost no one knows his sister Ottla. She was gassed on arrival at Auschwitz on Oct 7, 1943 after volunteering to escort a group of orphans from the Terezin ghetto so they wouldn’t be afraid.

Everyone deserves to be content

Patzeria Perfect on 46th is also real good

Heartbreaking

On this day in 1896, a German Jewish woman was born. Living in Prague, on the 3 Aug 1942 she was deported to Theresienstadt and on the 20 Aug 1942 to the Riga Ghetto. She perished in the Shoah. Her name was Růžena Heinemannová

Glad I’m not a field mouse

How can you resist that face?

Thank you, I especially enjoyed the little piece of swirling ice

That’s why he’s the boss

Absolutely not
