I am certain, if everyone could see the Earth floating just outside their windows, every day would be #EarthDay.

There are few things more fragile or more beautiful than Earth, let’s work together today and everyday to protect our home.

This is a summary of the Spring 2024 Commencement Ceremony for the WVU Math Department. Congratulations on your well-deserved success! As dedicated mathematicians, nothing and nobody can stop you! Keep smiling in the future. Love you all ❤️

Unfortunately, WVU not only decided to discontinue its grad programs in math. We were recently told that MathSciNet will be cut as part of the material cuts. We are deeply sorry to hear this and hope they can resolve this issue soon. My question was the following to President Gee after his University Address this afternoon: How can we bring more math research and more grants to WVU when we cannot even follow the world’s math literature? Is this how we are going to compete with other R1 math departments?

MathSciNet is a comprehensive bibliographic database covering the world's mathematical literature. It is a product of the American Mathematical Society (@amermathsoc) and provides access to a vast collection of research articles, conference papers, and other mathematical literature. It is a valuable resource for mathematicians, researchers, and students in mathematics; and helps us stay up to date with the latest developments in the field. This decision will affect not just math research, but also physics, chemistry, biology, astrophysics, etc.

Speechless! 😂

“Mathematics is essential to the sciences,” Gee said. “English is essential to the humanities. Those are two fundamental beliefs that I have. But saying all that, I don’t believe every aspect of math is essential.” Read the rest of the appeal drama here👇

It is not your job to care about the next presidential election yet. It's more than a year from now. Now is time for fun spooky, /next/ halloween is the abject terror one.

[GermanForeignOffice @GermanyDiplo]

Yes. And it’s called saving lives.

the lack of self-awareness is stunning

Only the lack of conference center accommodations, otherwise...

I want hardworking men and women like the ones I stood shoulder-to-shoulder with today building the economy of the future.

And I want them building that future here in America.

Need all mathematicians to have a giant red number floating over their head which records the number of times they’ve written “it’s easy to see [false thing].”

light pollution is getting so bad that astronomers have coined a new term for the loss of our dark skies: noctalgia meaning “sky grief”

🚨Attention TRAPPIST-1 fans 🚨

We just published the first JWST spectrum of one of the TRAPPIST-1 planets!

Our findings could have important implications for the planets in the habitable zone.

HUGE NEWS and what it means: This morning, @USAID, @StopTB, and @GlobalFund jointly announced that Danaher will lower the price of their standard TB test cartridge by 20% to $7.97. This isn't the 50% reduction we hoped for BUT...

@DanaherCorp is also committing to ZERO profit in their distribution of standard TB tests to impoverished communities. They will sell the cartridges at cost and bring in an "internationally accredited third-party" to assess prices and adjust them accordingly so that Danaher earns no profit from selling these cartridges. That is a huge deal. It means if Danaher's costs decline with increased volume, the price of the cartridges will further decline.

Just for some perspective, if (conservatively) 10 million cartridges are sold annually at the reduced price, this deal would save the poorest communities and those who serve them $200,000,000 over the next decade.

This is a massive win for people living with and fighting TB around the world, and it's a credit to years of activism by @MSF_access, @TAGTeam_Tweets, @PIH, and others.

There are many questions still outstanding, of course, and we hope that Danaher will take a similar course with their extensively drug resistant TB test cartridges. But I for one am very grateful to be able to celebrate today, even as the fight for universal access to treatment and diagnostics continues.

My answer: WVU Math Faculty! #WVUMistake

WVU, we're begging you. Listen to the students.

During Monday’s Faculty Senate meeting, math professor Ela Celikbas addressed Gee and told him that the proposed faculty reduction would lead to the “nuclear” annihilation of her department. https://t.co/h3y2Y8ezrl

This quote needs more attention 👇🏻👇🏻

@gordongee has been profiting off of our Appalachian struggles for years, and is creating new Appalachian struggles that will bring detriment to our future. When will the rich stop exploiting us and our home?
