@DrEugeniaCheng Ugh. Saving for the child who beat himself up over the same thing when required to number every page in a school notebook, and felt a need to go back and fix it. :-/
At school and in the workplace, women and girls are encouraged to be all that they can be. In church, we're often told to make sandwiches.
Our opinions & skills are valued more by those outside the church than by those who claim Jesus. And we're treated better there too.
@DrEugeniaCheng We had the tween read this whole thread aloud and are so inspired by your openness! We talk about how part of being brave is that one was scared in the first place. It's so helpful to model this! Well done. I'm so grateful for you.
A thread on asking questions in math talks.
This week I was at a 60th birthday conference, the first in-person conference I've been to since Covid that's more or less in my field, and I decided to do something radical: I decided to ask questions.
@DrEugeniaCheng Brava. Absolutely inspiring and energizing! Looking forward to sharing. And I'd love a transcript of that last bit about people expecting math to be obvious/math is hard. I want a Tshirt with that! :-)
@DanielNayeri Thank you! I'll be watching. I educate volunteers on refugee issues and this book can be such an incredible tool, but more fun if my Iranian friends can show up to book club having read a copy in their own language. Don't give up on it!
This book is incredible. So proud of @elaine.frantz.one for her work on this. Helping share other people's stories is one of the greatest honors in life. Read this, friends! Link to purchase in comments. https://t.co/VV1YwC9Y7i
