- The extraordinary internationally renowned mathematical physicist Francesco Calogero passed away on 31 January 2026. He accepted the 1995 Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of Pugwash and was influential in many directions, e.g., the Calogero-Moser systems 👉🏼 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances...
- I just discovered happy numbers and I’m happy because they’re not what I expected… Hint: take the square of each digit and add. Do the same to the result and keep going. If the end is 1, then it’s happy 😃

- Reposted by Nalini JoshiThis is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...
- I read “Triangle inequalities” as “tranquilizers” this morning 🤔 Hmm 🧐 the universe is telling me something…

- Almost a decade ago Emma Johnston, Tanya Monro and I appeared at The National Press Club of Australia to talk about our stories and our views of issues that impact on Women in Science. It was an amazing experience… I will miss you Emma. theconversation.com/if-we-really...
- Reposted by Nalini JoshiDevastating news that marine biologist, science communicator, and UniMelb VC Professor Emma Johnston has died after a short illness. She really was an extraordinary and visionary leader, and I have no doubt she would have made a fine Chief Scientist one day. theconversation.com/emma-johnsto...
- I was searching for the arXiv reference for my recent preprint with 2 collaborators but the first hit was an AI synopsis of us as researchers 😂

- Reposted by Nalini JoshiVery sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.
- The mathematical art exhibit at this week’s AustMS also featured stunning works by @mathskath.bsky.social which she has modestly omitted in her posts about it. Behold ⤵️

- Very sad to learn that Anne Husebekk has passed away. I had the deep pleasure of talking to Anne at the International Science Council meeting in Oman in January. Her discoveries in immunology were astonishing and she was so lovely to talk to, so generous and so wise … council.science/profile/huse...
