Last year, I arranged a series of ten talks by disabled mathematicians, aimed at a general audience.
Presenters included @solderandchaos, @sophiemacmaths, @matthras, and me, roped in at short notice.
The recordings are all still online: https://www.ncl.ac.uk/maths-physics/engagement/outreach/what-can-mathematicians-do-/

If you're starting to put up christmas decorations, my quick explanation of how to fold and cut a Christmas star might inspire you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S90WPkgxvas

The recordings of the #WhatCanMathematiciansDo public #math talks that I organised before Christmas are finally online!

10 talks by mathematicians with a range of disabilities, on topics ranging from pure maths to art to experiences as a disabled mathematician.

I'll do a thread linking to each of the talks:

Amaze your friends with this one weird trick that mathematicians really want you to know!

Here's a clip from #WhatCanMathematiciansDo where I show how to make a five-pointed star from a folded piece of paper with a single cut.
It's a nice trick, and you can work out how to do it with just the insight that all the cut edges have to be on top of each other when you cut.

It's not long now until the series of public math talks I'm organising featuring disabled presenters, "What Can Mathematicians Do?"

All over Zoom, open to anyone. Aimed at students in years 10-13 (ages 15 to 18).
Five sessions between 12th and 22nd December 2022.

There's more information and a link to register at https://www.ncl.ac.uk/maths-physics/engagement/outreach/what-can-mathematicians-do-/

The sessions will be recorded, with recordings made available to registered attendees before wider release.
