Language Inequality

The most productive research hack would be a way to question the author of a paper whenever you read something they wrote. It would save so much time.

Mathematics Education

How high can you climb?

Research Priorities

“I’m sure nobody will care if I make a bunch of boring slides.”

Guardrails

Teacher: “I’m basically guiding you through a harrowing mountain range where one bad step leads to death.”

Possibility Trap

“My scientific colleagues are not going to be happy with me when they hear about this…”

Scientists

Scientists are people too, and it would do us all well to not forget that.

Creative Mood

Seriously, it’s like my mind wants to rebel each time I sit down.

Simple Plot

“This plot looks easy to make.”

“Yeah… there were some twists and turns.”

(Hat-tip to my friend Benjamin for this idea.)

Buzzwords

“I don’t even notice the sound anymore. I usually work on these kind of things, so I’m used to it.”

Rigour

I’m on a roll with this “mathematics is mightier than physics” theme!
