As a matter of fact, I have these hanging in my office, next to the chair where students sit. Hopefully not too snarky. pic.twitter.com/yt7uB75vu3

Reminds me of “Phone Call to the 14th Century”. beta.prx.org/stories/14603-…

More about learning than teaching, but I recommend the book _Make it Stick: The Science of Successful Learning_ by Brown et al. My colleague Dan Wolczuk has also collected resources and given seminars about teaching and learning: wolczuk.com/teaching.html, wolczuk.com/learning.html

I'm working on a new CAD tool that combines vector editing and programming. More info and newsletter: tinyletter.com/cuttlexyz/lett… pic.twitter.com/up9c5chRo7

It's also worth looking at the lovely tilings you can create by combining the Cairo tile and a prismatic pentagon. See, for example, the second half of this paper by Frank Morgan: archive.bridgesmathart.org/2014/bridges20…

This opens up the uncanny question of what might constitute "perfect vision".

This recent article is relevant: caut.ca/bulletin/2019/…. "...the University of British Columbia’s air travel produces 26,000 to 32,000 tonnes of CO2 annually, which is equivalent to about two-thirds of all the university’s emissions." Yikes.

That thing people say about the academic rat race (a pie-eating contest where the prize is more pie) is equally true of airline status programs.

Past work by Abdalla Ahmed seems both mathematically and aesthetically related: archive.bridgesmathart.org/2011/bridges20… tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

Seems like the ACM failed to read the letter they signed? This statement makes a rather different case. twitter.com/TheOfficialACM…

I'm not saying they're good arguments, just that they're there only ones left that carry any weight at all. I love the idea of an open access journal paying freelance copyeditors to clean up writing.

To my mind, the main arguments that still make sense are:
* Better (professional) copyediting and typesetting
* Getting plugged in to scholarly indexing services, university libraries, etc.
They're no longer strong arguments, but they do still provide some marginal value.

I don't know what an ideal response to this tweet ought to be, but it certainly mentions Jefferies Tubes.

I live very close to Listowel, Ontario, upon which Letterkenny is (apparently) based. I find it hilarious, and know many others who do. But its language and customs are as alien to me as I'm sure they are to most other people.

Totally. I had that in mind to some extent in talking about 2D/3D interplay, but I was more focused on 3D geometry being momentarily perceived as 2D.

Following up on my recent talk about mathematical animated GIF art, I wrote up a blog post with pointers to the artists, artworks, and visual devices I mentioned. I hope it's useful! isohedral.ca/mathematical-a… #mathart @canmathsociety
