Very excited that this video was one of five winners of the "helpful for teachers" supplementary prizes of #SoME4. I love it when teachers tell me that they used one of my videos in their classroom!

Teddy Einstein, a West Philly mathematician, was about to hit his stride. Then he was killed while riding his bike. Teddy Einstein finished major research and would start a new job before he was killed earlier this month by a driver in Upper Darby. His family and friends remember the "brilliant" mathematician.

Teddy was a friend in my graduate program.

US policies and infrastructure consistently prioritize cars over cyclists and pedestrians. It's enraging. And very sad.

You might have heard that something is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. But mathematicians struggle to find hay in a haystack.

This is a great and concise introduction to popular paradoxes by @kelseyahe.bsky.social. I didnโ€™t know about several of these.
