Trying out Flashes, since Zuck’s app that used to be about photos is now for video. (Seriously. Prepping for a trip to Singapore and search on IG doesn’t turn up any inspiration for me as a travel/landscape photographer.) Anyway, app suggested a separate visual-focused account: @mitchkeller.photos

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

Many of you know that I’ve been involved with the Math Genealogy Project for more than 20 years (since 2002) and have been the Managing Director since 2010. Today I learned that the MGP’s founder, Harry Coonce, passed away on Friday. He was 86 years old.

not paying indirect costs for research is like only paying the players in the Super Bowl. can't have a Super Bowl without coaches, referees, security, janitors, announcers, stadium staff, and a stadium - and you can't have research without supporting people and facilities

Spent the weekend in San Francisco. Had a little time to go out and shoot some photos, too. Alt text will give more information on location.

I’m guessing most of that $128 million loss would be for the work done in the School of Medicine and Public Health at UW–Madison. Surely even the most MAGA members of our congressional delegation realize this would be devastating. And yet, they will bow before their cult leader.

Don't forget what happened with the travel ban during the first Trump administration: Version 1: Clumsy, overbroad, and poorly implemented; blocked by courts; withdrawn. Version 2: Slightly less clumsy; slightly less overbroad; poorly implemented; blocked by courts; expired. Version 3: Upheld.

We’re hiring! UW–Madison’s Math Department is looking for someone to join our outstanding (IMHO) collection of teaching faculty. This position works with new faculty and postdocs to provide teaching mentorship.

Cam Miller has become another legacy Bison QB. This season alone, besides his second national title, he literally protected Easton Stick's win record from being topped and NDSU's 2019 16-0 record from being matched. Legend.
