“More than 1,500 #mathematicians are demanding via petition that their field’s most prestigious meeting be moved from Philadelphia in the U.S.”

“…the French Mathematical Society (SMF) announced that it would skip the event (France is a mathematical powerhouse, with more Fields Medalists than any country except the U.S.)”
