Came across this essay this morning and think it is worth sharing. We can not talk enough about the achievements of all the great women out there!

Sgt. Benjamin N. Pennington, 26, of Glendale, Ky., died March 8, from injuries sustained during an enemy attack on March 1, at Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia.
And while the Pentagon doesn't count him among the Iran war dead: Maj. Sorffly Davius, 46, of Queens, N.Y., died on March 6
A Gary Larson cartoon, in which a caveman points to a drawing of a Stegosaurus tail and says, “Now, this end is called the thagomizer, after the late Thag Simmons.”
But without doubt, the single greatest moment is Morgan Freeman dramatically intoning that the spiked tail of the Stegosaurus is called “the Thagomizer.” It is! And here’s why:
I became a historian because of sf/f: LEST DARKNESS FALL. Then, when I couldn't make a living at it, I poured what I'd learned back into sf/f. The river of branching and intersecting streams...
We use it in our classes for math teachers. Dated but still valuable.
For the next 24h, drop any infectious disease and/or vaccine-related questions in response to this post, and I will do my best to answer them. Answers are for information only, NOT medical advice.

Data centers, perhaps?
🧵Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/

The University of Texas System has passed a set of rules regulating the teaching of "controversy." The administration of each university in the system gets to decide what constitutes controversy. I've published an op-ed in the Austin Statesman respoonding.
Abdulalim A. Shabazz broke barriers in higher education, inspiring generations in math. He earned the NAM Distinguished Service Award and a National Mentor Award. #BlackHistoryMonth
any of those snowballs could have contained a rock, resulting in innocent police officers transforming into fool-saint figures in a backwoods Canadian town

Reminder: the entire NSF budget is 9B and NIH like 47B. And they have 500B that they don’t know how to spend.
Antibodies harvested from the blood of paediatricians are up to 25 times better at protecting against the common respiratory infection RSV than existing antibody therapies, and are now being developed as preventative treatments
Only once people admit that the entire Ukraine-Russia negotiations process being orchestrated by the USA/Trump is first and last a sham designed to help Putin as much as possible (and provide massive payoffs to the administration), will people be able to discuss it honestly.
A color-coded binary tree displaying how to expand (x+y)^3. There are 8=2^3 terms on the bottom, and by putting them in "alphabetical order" and grouping like terms, you see that (x+y)^3 = x^3 + 3x^2y + 3xy^2 + y^3.
My coauthor Dave Perkinson made this diagram to explain the binomial theorem and I think it's the perfect distillation. Here's our draft book, Discrete Structures, if you want more: kyleormsby.github.io/files/113spr... 🧮

We've still never had a president born during that green era. Kamala Harris was born in that very first green square but before the Voting Rights Act; she's the only nominee born in the green.
(Me too! I was born in that last blue square. I'm old but I'm not *that* old...it's all so very recent).
Wow.
Need more industries to speak up against the attacks on NCAR.
