Like the weather this week, a cold and concerned opening, but after four days of reconnecting, reflecting, & rekindling, a warm and hopeful ending at AGU annual meeting in New Orleans for Amanda Borth, Mara Karageozian & the Consortium for Science, Policy & Outcomes at Arizona State University team.

Aux maths citoyennes, citoyens ! Consultation nationale sur la place des mathématiques dans la société : le CNRS présente ses résultats Pour la première fois, le CNRS a donné la parole aux citoyennes et citoyens sur leur rapport aux mathématiques. Lancée le 10 mars 2025, cette consultation nationale a interrogé la place des mathématiques dans la société et a ainsi pu identifier plusieurs leviers afin d’en favoriser la compréhension et l’accès. Cette initiative du CNRS s’inscrit dans le prolongement des Assises des mathématiques (2022) et contribue à la réflexion nationale sur l’accès aux mathématiques à tout le monde et à tout âge.

Two very different approaches to improving mathematics education by leading science agencies in France and the United States: CNRS starts by asking the users (people); National Science Foundation (NSF) begins by asking the providers (experts)

I guess for the right, Vance is to Trump, what Bartlet was to Clinton for the left. One is real and the other fiction, or is it? Hard to tell.
