5 years ago today, Her Maths Story went live with our 1st story. What started as a small idea has grown into a global, supportive community celebrating #WomenInMaths. We’re deeply grateful to everyone who has shared, read, supported & believed in this journey. Here’s to the stories still to come 💛✨

I think I will often use dialogue to make mathematical content more accessible, without hiding the scaffolding and ladders, showing only the finished building, but rather showing the sometimes difficult and intricate thought process.

I would also like to make the blog content more appealing and recognizable, with a unique style.

By the way, I will try to write more often for my blog this year. I only do math in my spare time, and I didn't have much of that last year.

Hello everyone, if you were wondering why I changed the URL of my blog for a while from www.piecesofmathematics.com to www.francescomacri.com and back to the original name: it was due to technical difficulties.

Is there any university that has made a thoughtful, ethical and critical approach to AI one of their core values? That is deliberately not falling for the hype, and instead placing a premium on human creativity and thought? I feel like this could be a real USP these days, and also please hire me!
