I can't believe it's been 4 years since I started talking maths on twitch. I'm celebrating with possibly the most challenging streeam I've ever designed - a 12 hour maths exam! Join me on the day as I raise money for the british heart foundation!

A large part ofmy love of rugby is due to the weekly rhythm in our house. Saturdays meant doing the weekly shop, wolfing down a swansea pie, and then heading off to sit in the cold for two hours beside my Mam and Dad, and later Mam and Bampi, as we cheered on @ospreysofficial.bsky.social. 🧵1/5

Hallo! I'm not very good at using this platform, but I am quite good at sometimes remembering to tell people where they can find me. I'll be live over on twitch doing some co-working study streams this week, and I'll be doing some maths and fundraising May 21st (more to follow). Come say hi!

Last time I played a game with Sam I helped try to unionise a bunch of bakery goblins. He is a fantastic GM and I can't recommend this highly enough!!
"You Awaken in a Strange Place"

I’m opening up some paid one-shots to help bring in some extra income!

Sign up to grab a spot at an upcoming game of You Awaken in a Strange Place, an improv-heavy tabletop roleplaying game, that requires zero prep!

Very excited to share these new pins! I couldn't find my favourite version of the transbian flag as a pin already, so I decided to make them myself. Please share these around so that other people can find and enjoy them too! canopyrobin.etsy.com/uk/listing/1...

Do grey squirrels have red faces/backs for the same reason that some non-ginger people get ginger beards?

Do they release a cut of The Traitors where they don't include the confessionals, so you can play along? Because that would be so much fun

I've had a very good day. I hope y'all have also had a good day, and if you haven't, I hope tomorrow is better 💜

This year for JingleJam the sci com collective are getting together to provide two weeks of chaotic streams, including a 12 hour Xmas Spectacular where it'll be me, some maths, and a few friends to keep me sane! This is all in the name of charity and you can donate here: tiltify.com/+the-sci-com...

Forget Christmas, the best part of December is watching two grown men lose their minds watching silly cat videos for charity. #jinglejam

The book I'm reading got to a sad moment, so I decided to catch up on my Buffy rewatch. Only I forgot that my next episode is The Body... Looks like we're having a crying night no matter what

I've had an amazingly full circle moment today where I was invited to speak at the applied mathematics seminar in Cardiff University. I completed my undergraduate in Cardiff in 2019, so to go back just after completing my PhD and share my success with the people who inspired me was a lovely feeling.

If we run out of lore you're getting bad maths jokes, but this looks fun!

1 like = 1 piece of Kat lore

(Also go check out the really cool people in this chain!!)
1 like = 1 piece of Sam lore

I have some weird stories to share

For people who've had to chair talks, what's your favourite way to ensure your speakers don't run over? I'm enjoying watching someone use my favourite method - stand menacingly by the side of the stage when the time is up.

Adding to my list of first time SciComm experiences: Yesterday I did my first school visit to share my talk "Everyday Fluid Dynamics" with a group of passionate A level students. I had a lot of fun, and the students did too - if their many, many questions were anything to go by!

Shwmae! With the mass migration it seems the appropriate time to introduce myself, I'm Kat and I do maths! You can find me at my day job as an Innovation Research Associate, on twitch teaching maths and chatting about academia, or doing talks about cool things! I love puns, games, and lofi remixes 💜
