We need to reject negative stereotypes around maths

The RSS, along with many of the UK’s leading mathematical sciences societies, is led by a woman and three of our four VPs are women

We are home to thousands of female members who all like ‘hard maths’

[Nicola Fitz-Simon @NicolaFitz]

@bizifer Well it had always seemed perfectly natural to me to love maths!!!!

[Ollscoil na Gaillimhe | University of Galway @uniofgalway]

Two very good, but fairly technical presentations from John Sweeney and @NicolaFitz on #COVID19 modelling. Very useful models, and look forward to seeing them extended to look at the impacts of reinfection.
