Tommaths (he/him) 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️One keynote in at #GEMConference2025 & we've already seen a theme that also echoed throughout #TMiP25: we (whether maths communicators or museum educators) are not neutral.
Tommaths (he/him)I'll also say that if you took part in this #MathsInMuseums thing on Saturday morning at #TMiP25 and you haven't yet sent me your thoughts (possibly with supporting pictures) please do!
On Saturday I did a thing in a museum with a bunch of maths communicators (as part of #TMiP25). I'm going to write up what we found later, properly, but I wanted to quickly record that we did it: tkbriggs.co.uk/talking-math...

Christian Lawson-PerfectWho knew that lazy loading and better image formats exist?
I've massively reduced the download size of my homepage by switching from png to webp thumbnails, and by lazy-loading images and videos.
While at #TMiP25 last week I noticed that my "everything" page wouldn't load on my knacky old tablet. Now it does!

Alice ZhangUpdate: What a trip!!! Seeing @standupmaths perform at the Edinburgh fringe and #tmip25 was an amazing way to start off my post PhD world travels. And hitting up tourist spots in London, meeting Sky, experiencing the trains across the UK in between, and just, everything else… It was a constant sensory overload.
Next time I visit (September…) I need to spend a few days in London and go visit a few other cities. I hear Manchester for tech and York for history? Hmmm I wonder if there’s cleanrooms hiring in Manchester willing to sponsor internationals…
Oh and I’ll head over to mainland Europe, any recommendations on where to go? 😊 (Lisbon and Valencia are on my radar to visit friends)
Colin BeveridgeMy highlights of #TMiP25 included:
- getting to play in the @PseudoRandomEnsemble show, but specifically hearing the audience-wide belly-laugh as @sam_hartburn nailed the punchline to KMAG
- having the chance to gush at Ian Stewart about his books, some of the first glimmers for me that maths could be communicated in a fun and funny way
- seeing Jon Chase act out the "can you do X?" (quick search) "Yeah, I can definitely do that" dance freelancers do
- watching Prof Julia Gog in conversation with @alisonkiddle talk about dealing with hostile press
- catching up with friends I only see at this sort of event, putting names to faces I know from online, and meeting excellent new people.
I still don't know what I want to do when I don't grow up, though.
Thanks to everybody who took part in my #MathsInMuseums activity at #TMiP25 this morning. Some people have sent me some of the ideas they had, and I'm hoping a few more will when they've recovered from the conference!
