I needed to read this chapter from "The Inequality Machine" today. Because here at UCSB, we're done telling students not to bother trying. And the most important mission of my career, "to actually teach them calculus," begins next Fall. #unicornjob🦄 #figaday 3.191/n #year3

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US.

Obsessed with new-calculus, but still sometimes get to find time to make actual data plots. #figaday 4.105/n #year4

The world is on fire but at least we have this lovely sticker design. Integral mama quail and her emotive babies sketched by postdoc Clarissa Frederica; mathematical accoutrements (pencil; coffee; math daydreams) and some aesthetics by #wundergrad Alan Sheu.
