As we march towards the end of 2025, we reflect on the amazing mathematical journeys that our contributors have transported us to! In total, we published 11 stories and 4 blogs this year. Our contributors' mathematical backgrounds range from #PureMathematics to #AppliedSciences including #MathematicalBiology. These stories and blogs by amazing women also encompass their wide-ranging mathematical careers from penning #MathematicalPoetries to working in #QuantumScience. Please give these inspiring articles a read! We’ll be back on the 7th of January 2026! We wish you Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

With the reminder that I am a #nerd, not a scholar, and that I never taken trigonometry and only managed to do well in Algebra 2 on the second try in community college, I will say that this #knot #theory video is fascinating and that I followed it all the way up to the #AlexanderPolynomial at which point my #brain fell out. I let the rest of it flow over me and it was still #fascinating, but if you ask me tomorrow what it said I might not remember.

Scientists Uncover a Surprising Link Between Pure Mathematics and Genetics
The team found the maximal robustness of mutations—mutations that can occur without changing an organism’s characteristics—is proportional to the logarithm of all possible sequences that map to a phenotype, with a correction provided by the sums-of-digits function from number theory.

Scientists Uncover a Surprising Link Between Pure Mathematics and Genetics

An interdisciplinary team of mathematicians, engineers, physicists, and medical scientists has discovered a surprising connection between pure mathematics and genetics. This connection sheds light on the structure of neutral mutations and the evolution of organisms. Number theory, the study of th

- Nash, in diverting from his studies in #puremathematics to this nascent field, showed that in a certain class of games a certain set of outcomes exists: those outcomes are now called “Nash equilibria.”

The #Unix #Fortune #program often throws up interesting #quotes and #information. For example, I just found out that the first 41 #integer values of f(x)=x^2-x+41 are all #PrimeNumbers.
