Photo of me (with Syon House in the background), and photo taken by me (in Kew Gardens), in the Richmond half marathon today! I did my first post-kids tiny jog, wearing normal clothes and pushing a two year old in a buggy, 51 weeks ago! (And didn't do much pre kids). So I'm very proud of myself!

Unsurprisingly, there's a lot of opinion flying around at the moment about map projections (including comparative pros and cons). If you're interested in reading about the history of maps and maps projections I can wholly recommend Paulina Rowinska's Mapmatics:
static.klipy.com
World Map: Real Size Comparison
Alt: On a world map, the sizes of countries oscillate between their relative sizes on a Mercator map and their relative sizes in the real world, demonstrating one of the weaknesses of this map projection (it has strengths, too).

I'll be at @mathsworld.com on Tuesday 26th May for another 'MathsWorld Lates' event - talking (and singing - fair warning) about the *Sound of Silence*. Some the maths of music and why it's a fun & messy interaction between artistic & mathematical intuition. mathsworld.com/events/Sound...

Happy International Day of Women in Mathematics!! Here is our webpage with lots of info about encouraging girls to continue with maths post-16 so they can be the future women in maths! Also see my pinned post on diversifying the curriculum which has lots of resources. amsp.org.uk/teachers/equ...

Encouraging girls' participation - AMSP
Many factors can influence a student's decision to choose post-16 maths, including gender, ethnicity and socioeconomic.

Finally got round to trying to book appt to donate blood, to discover I can't donate blood because I had a blood transfusion a couple of years ago (which, ironically, is what prompted me to donate blood). Wishing I'd done it more times before. Someone else do it for me!
