"Don’t be scared to take chances and go explore new things. Find out for yourself." Last fall one of Brian's "new things" was abstract algebra... Let's just say his own advice worked very well for him! πŸ‘ https://twitter.com/BridgeStateU/status/1135557401153810432

Drinking 25 cups of coffee a day is still safe for the heart, say mathematicians.

Well... Let's not be ahistorical. We've learned a lot about pedagogy in 50 years. And, our assumptions about who deserves to be educated are a bit different now. (One hopes!) https://twitter.com/Mathgarden/status/1135265149915258881

It's Not Liberal Arts And Literature Majors Who Are Most Underemployed According to a new study on underemployment among college graduates, there are far more underemployed graduates in business and health care than liberal arts or literature.

Great example of how rates & absolute numbers tell two very different stories. #numeracycounts https://www.forbes.com/sites/dereknewton/2018/05/31/its-not-liberal-arts-and-literature-majors-who-are-most-underemployed/

Procrastination =/= laziness.
Refusal to listen to students =/= intellectual rigor.

"Tool coma" is an apt description. I'm still refining my tool set too but it's hard when every tool is so exciting! #NEOERSummit2019 didn't help to limit that excitement, either. 😊 https://t.co/usnVx3OfPU

Tracking widens achievement gaps in the long run. We don't have a complete solution to the college #DevEd problem until we can address this. https://twitter.com/P_A_Kirschner/status/1132198165912985600

Thought-provoking Q. Corollary: What *aren't* we teaching students because we spend too much time on rote tasks like trinomial factoring? #MTBoS #mathchat https://twitter.com/alicekeeler/status/1131656843313336320

Yes, this is undoubtedly true. There are so many great places to launch a math journey now. And not just in Division I, either! https://twitter.com/robertghrist/status/1131611360125755397
