See the full video with @margotshetterly's remarks on the importance of recognizing the pioneering and persevering black women mathematicians @NASA. "...women of all backgrounds prove that not only are women good at math, sometimes they are the best at math." #HiddenFigures
Honoring Hidden Figures: Here's the moment that the street outside of NASA HQ in Washington, D.C., was officially renamed to honor the black female mathematicians who paved the way for NASA to make it to space. Read the story: nbc4dc.com/OL2qdgU
Every year I write a column for Math Awareness Month @MathAware and send it to a dozen newspapers. I generally get 1-2 hits per year. Would be nice if every mathematician did this to let the world know how math plays a role in people's lives.
When you work at NIST, it all adds up! For @MathAware, get the scoop on one NISTer's experience with the National Research Council (NRC) Postdoctoral Fellowship in applied mathematics: nist.gov/blogs/taking-measur…#MathStatMonth

It's #MathStatMonth and Spring (here). As flowers and trees blossom keep your eyes peeled. Can you find Fibonacci patterns in nature? These are just some of the patterns mathematicians look for. Order a free AMS poster to get inspired, at bit.ly/2n158Fm
April 1 means it's #MathStatMonth (that's not an April Fool's Joke!). Start it off by learning a bit about Muḥammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, whose name gave us “algorithm” and whose work gave us algebra. blogs.ams.org/phdplus/2019/0…
