@MoniseLSeward You crack me up!

@dtkung Omg I love this. I have definitely been living by the motto that a good dissertation is a done dissertation. :)

Mathy folx--I have 7 weeks left of dissertation writing. What pep talk advice do you have for this almost-at-the-end time in the PhD process?

[Kelly MacArthur @kellymath]

@thewordninja_bk I'm also happy to read it!!

[Kelly MacArthur @kellymath]

@anshrdas I totally agree. What's interesting to me is what happens to the limit of you do lhopitals rule first...

[Kelly MacArthur @kellymath]

Math peeps--How would you do this limit? Would you use L'Hopital's rule?

[Kelly MacArthur @kellymath]

@thewordninja_bk @Desmos Awesome. Thank you.

@sbagley @sbagley maybe you can help create a Being Human in STEM class at your college? It's a fantastic experience. We ran our first instance of the course at the U in the spring. https://t.co/a7eHOGN581

@bhanna @jbjay45 @zoom_us So with some investigating, we found that every single one of my students who were having this problem were on Mac laptops AND they had not updated their zoom software. As soon as they updated their zoom software, and re joined the zoom meeting/class, everything was fixed.

[Kelly MacArthur @kellymath]

@thewordninja_bk I'm available also. And really happy to zoom Co work.

(6/6) Just when we think it's time to give up because the progress is seemingly minimal, we have an explosion of understanding, insight and/or mastery. The main point is to keep showing up and practicing because we just don't know when that moment of mastery will appear.

(1/6)Thought for the Week: Never give up on yourself, even when it feels overwhelming (I call this the pogo stick effect). When my kid was very young, maybe 6 or 7 years old, I purchased a pogo stick one year for Christmas, per his request.

(5/6) But, instead, that goal was reached in a much shorter time because the progress was not linear at all, but exponential in nature. Many things, including understanding mathematics, progress in this fashion.
