Please point motivated students to this!

(c) Red Hat changes. Almost all tech discussions are completely missing the point. At FOSSY they won't be - they will be about important ways to think about the world of computing. Plus: Portland in the summer.

[Mark Galassi @markgalassi]

I'm going to say: if you can you should go to FOSSY. Just the list of things happening in these last and next couple of days means you should go get that level of discussion. (a) twitter going full walled garden; (b) reddit disabling APIs;

@doctorpoe thanks :-)

Dear twitter connections, can anyone put me in touch with a researcher who works in city planning / urban design?

[Mark Galassi @markgalassi]

@chemsocial there's very little "prep ahead of time", so a couple of days before the start would be fine.

@SusanPolgar @DanielRensch @chesscom Susan, do you have a Harvard MBA? I thought that was the only thing not allowed to become CEO of https://t.co/ru88R8eZtZ

[Mark Galassi @markgalassi]

@GMHikaru I like the "no Harvard MBAs allowed" - then I thought that on the east coast they posted that after midnight.

Are you a researcher or scholar or technologist who might want to propose a project to high-functioning high school students?

@savostrowski I use LaTeX + beamer, and keep each slide in its own .tex file and \input{} each slide in the main document

[Mark Galassi @markgalassi]

@philosophygeek I agree. I'm just on a journey of re-reading Wittgenstein and am cringing somewhat -- it makes me appreciate someone who takes you on a romp *together*.

[Mark Galassi @markgalassi]

On Monday, February 27, I start the "math for research" working group. Taylor series, Fourier analysis, numerical solutions to differential equations. Students who are interested, please email me at [email protected] - https://t.co/ibKGbtLYgi and following chapters.

Only prerequisite: knowing how to type (typically 6th grade in the US), but it's hard work as we quickly move on.
Finally: this workshop will be on US-friendly time zone hours, but I am very happy to teach Africa/Europe time zones, or Asian time zones, so let me know...

Dear social media friends, I will be teaching another programming workshop on January 28+29. We are also beginning to take applications for summer 2023 internships at the Institute, so get started preparing now! Please pass this on to students.

[Mark Galassi @markgalassi]

Dear all, I will be teaching a math working group (for students) on advanced analytic geometry virtually. Kick-off meeting is Monday December 5. Email [email protected] if you are interested. More info at:

As you cook today, or as you hang out, makes sure you listen to, or sing, Alice's Restaurant. One nice version is here:

[Mark Galassi @markgalassi]

https://t.co/FpTMHmXjVV and start preparing!

We hire students in Santa Fe, Portland (OR), and Austin, and looking at Socorro and New York City. The pipeline that prepares students for research is world-wide.

[Mark Galassi @markgalassi]

Time for students to start thinking about summer internships where you get paid to work full time on research in your area of interest.

If you are (or someone you know is) in 10th, 11th, or 12th grade, please look at the Institute for Computing in Research: [link on next tweet]
