Today #NIH is terminating more than $250 million in funding—including more than 400 grants—to Columbia University following directives from the Trump Administration’s Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism. The cancellations are due to Columbia University’s continued inaction in the face of persistent harassment of Jewish students.
PhD opportunity in the excellent dynamics group at @UPorto on Network Dynamics with Higher-Order Interactions. Become part of @BeyondEdge_MSCA with prospective research secondments with me at @VUMathematics and with @mdiberna in Napoli. Apply by Aug 26 at https://t.co/FHLJMxjl9t
Here is a lovely geometric proof that sqrt(2) is irrational.
The proof begins by looking at an isosceles right triangle whose legs have length 1. By the Pythagorean theorem, this triangle's hypotenuse will have length sqrt(2).
The power of data-driven spectral submanifold (SSM) reduction: Nonlinear oscillations of an elastic flag in counter flow, together with its reconstructed chaotic attractor within a 4D SSM. Obtained directly from the videos of the experiment.

Nerd alert but this infinitely recursive / infinitely zoomable implementation (by @shr_id) of Conway's Game of Life, where each cell is billions of gliders actively simulating a single square, might be the most impressive webpage ever created https://t.co/O462Gi9XSs
Alan Kay (1987) on science pedagogy:
“The sad part of Hadamard’s diagram is that every child is taught math and physics through the [purely symbolic] channel that almost no adult mathematician or physicist uses. They use this channel to communicate, but not to [work].”

Exact topic is v. flexible, so long as it's interesting!
My colleagues and I have two NSF-funded postdocs openings. They're at the intersections of computational social science, governance, social networks, and open source software:

Kindly spread the word.
agreed. i can't remember the last time i was annoyed at someone for asking a "stupid question" in math. literally all of the questions i've ever been asked directly 1-on-1 are great and i love answering them, and i deeply appreciate people's hunger for deep understanding
Want to come to @Cambridge_Uni for a PhD? Know anyone who does? Spread the word! Apply before Dec 1st for the best chance. Happy to talk if you want to work with me on complex networks/algorithms/inference https://t.co/mAHHZtErPw
