Yes, but I think the difference is in whether people actively participate in these things socially: I know more English teachers who regularly attend reading groups than I know maths teachers who regularly attend something like MathsJam, for example. And I know a LOT of maths teachers.

Possibly. Also I mentioned MathsJam to a few people at #MathsConf39 (so, by definition, choosing to do a maths thing in personal time - and paying for it) and almost all of them said "I'd worry that I'm not good enough at maths to go to something like that."

Tonight's Bletchley & MK @MathsJam was the best-attended in quite a while (7 people!) and, true to form, I was too engrossed to remember to post about what we were doing!

MathsJams are all around the world! Find your nearest one on the map here: www.mathsjam.com/find-a-jam/
If there's not one nearby you can set your own up: all you need is to choose a pub and invite some maths fans!
(To call it a 'MathsJam' you need to do a couple more things, but nothing onerous).

I cannot see this as anything beyond a blatant and purposeful disregard of Dominika's work. I've tried to comment on the video, but my comments are being blocked. This what I want to say:

Finally, it was pointed out to me that I'd forgotten @dragondodo.bsky.social's excellent 5 minute MathsJam talk on this from 2016 (available here: mathsjam.com/assets/talks...) which must have inspired me years ago.
Enjoy all the pretty reflections!
