Student email: "Hi Dr. Bagley, I've been feeling sick the past few days, so I'm not going to make it to class today. I'm sorry I've missed a few classes now and I'm starting to fall behind. Do you have any recommendations for how to stay on track? Thank you, [student]" Me: Yes I do: come to class 💖

Dear NSF, as you fired 168 people without any good reason, when it was clear YOU - not just the government - could have made a choice, I will NOT participate in any grant review activities. Kisses

NEW: The National Science Foundation fired nearly 170 workers this morning. They include people who had already cleared their one-year probationary period only to have it changed to two years earlier this month. @kimzetter.bsky.social reports for @wired.com www.wired.com/story/nation...

One of the tests to tell whether a politician is trustworthy is it’s whether they claim they can bring down prices. Clearly, no one can. Unfortunately politicians of all colors are campaigning on that. 😪

Funny to keep track of the Ontario election candidates knocking at our door: the first was the NDP (left wing), today the conservatives, while the liberals (center left) are still nowhere to be seen.

Most people in the US have no idea about the attacks on federally funded science or our government institutions. Many (or most!) of your family, coworkers, neighbors, and friends have no idea. My own MAGA dad thinks DOGE is just identifying waste, and that nothing has been cut. We have to tell them.

So, the current US administration is claiming that a conference on “Complex Hyperbolic Geometry” or “Four Manifolds and Categorification” is advancing neo-Marxist class warfare propaganda.

Last night I found out that the NSF math postdoctoral fellowship I applied for is being deleted because it does not comply with Trump’s executive orders on DEI in the federal government. I’m going to answer some FAQs and share some thoughts about this ordeal in this thread 1/n

So I found the answer to HOW MUCH THE CSU IS PAYING for "AI tools" "at no cost to students or faculty" to be an "AI powered university." @cfaunited.bsky.social: help! 🚨$16.9 million In the middle of a "budget crisis" where the CSU is doing layoffs pleading poverty! edsource.org/2025/cal-sta...

I’m in the process of publishing a book with what should be a reputable publisher and guess what? They ask for authorization to sell our data to some AI company for training. This is absolutely a disgrace. Has this become commonplace?
