I wrote a piece about why kids need risky play and 'scary joy'. I went into this @nature.com story feeling kind of like I screwed up because our kid is naturally cautious, but actually came out feeling much better. Kids need the chance to take risks--they get to decide whether to take them

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square. 45² = 45 x 45 = 2025 Also, 9² x 5² = 2025 40² + 20² + 5² = 2025 My favourite? 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025 #Mathematics #teaching #education

I lie awake at night thinking about this. In 100 years, the knowledge people can access will mostly be from the Global North. It will be as though scholarship from most of the Global South – unless published in US, UK, or European journals – did not exist. 1/n www.nature.com/articles/d41...
