Am trying this thing where I make pretty descriptions of things I really want to understand so I am motivated to understand them better (and also maybe people want pictures of pants decompositions?) What can I say, I love drawing pants

@ratmathematics So proud of you, it was very well done ♡

@lgebrah I watched puss in boots 2 last night without the first and I loved it and didn't think I was missing anything! (Also I personally cried a lot lol)

[Casandra Monroe @casmatician]

Officially a PhD candidate today!!!!

(2) outrageous fact

[Meet a Mathematician @MeetaMathemati1]

This past January we advertised the Meet a Mathematician poster in collaboration with the AMS.
We are aware that AMS has not sent any of these posters yet but they have communicated to us that they are now working to send all the poster orders.

@blkmathmagic So happy we get to hang out!!! 😍😍😍

[Casandra Monroe @casmatician]

@sallycol I like to practice the first 5 minutes of the talk a lot; like, title, my name, outline, summary, first background part; I think it helps me with my confidence if I feel like I have a strong start. Of course practice the rest too! But I do the first 5 minutes many more times

[Casandra Monroe @casmatician]

Very late bonus, but I really like this slide from a talk I gave a few weeks ago:

[Casandra Monroe @casmatician]

I gave 8 math* talks this semester; this is def the most I've ever spoken, and before each talk I was v nervous! But it got a little better, so to celebrate the end of the semester, here's a slide I really liked from each talk!

(*I also gave some non-math talks for fun)

[Casandra Monroe @casmatician]

5) "[MoCAT Presents] What is... a Geometry?"
6) "A Talk Where Someone Defines Arithmetic Hyperbolic 3-Manifolds"
7), 8) "Invariant Functions on Lie groups and Hamiltonian Flows of Surface Group Representations" (Part I and II)

@blkmathmagic 😭😭😭❤❤❤ so happy we get to hang out!

@blkmathmagic Can confirm, was an amazing brownie!!!
