Did you know? Antz Junction creates job opportunities for individuals with lived experience of the justice system, providing them with paid training roles. These individuals then work with the Antz Junction team to provide training to organisations, businesses, and all sectors. By doing things this way, businesses see a bigger impact, and it helps bring down walls between decision-makers and people from less privileged backgrounds, including those people with lived experience of the prison system. According to the latest data, between April 2022 and March 2023 80.6% of prison leavers who do not secure employment during this critical period, we want to support the 80%.

"The beauty that we see in a flower, in a tree, is often an expression of a mathematical fact. The beauty of mathematics, in some sense, supersedes the beauty that we see with our eyes." Dr. Fern Yvette Hunt, born January 14, 1948, is an American mathematician whose work blends probability, dynamical systems, and applied science into strikingly original insights. Growing up during a transformative era in the United States, she developed an early fascination with patterns, puzzles, and the hidden order beneath everyday phenomena. In middle school, Mr. Charles Wilson, the advisor of her school's science club and her science teacher, motivated her budding interest in mathematics. Mr. Wilson held a Master's Degree from Columbia University, was also a chemist, and Dr. Hunt was especially inspired by being mentored by a Black teacher fluent in science and mathematics. Hunt earned her undergraduate degree from Bryn Mawr College and later completed a PhD at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, where her curiosity for complex systems fully developed. Over her career, she has made influential contributions to nonlinear dynamics, fractals, and stochastic processes, often focusing on real world problems such as materials science, internet traffic, and data analysis. At the National Institute of Standards and Technology, she became known for bridging theory and application with admirable elegance and precision. Beyond research, Dr. Hunt has been a powerful advocate for diversity in mathematics, inspiring generations of students through mentorship, lectures, and outreach, proving that curiosity and determination can reshape both science and society. Her achievements continue to illuminate pathways for interdisciplinary discovery and inclusive excellence worldwide. #LBE #livedexperience #DrFernHunt #STEM

A "seat at the table" isn't enough if the table wasn't built for you.
Singular representation of lived experience often becomes extractive, requiring immense labor from individuals forced to adapt to rigid academic spaces.
