I sure hope @ehanford has read “The Dreamkeepers” from Dr. Ladson-Billings as part of her research for #SoldAStory2.

If ears wore socks then they’d get knocked right off after listening to my buddy Trent’s new audiobook The Richmond Way. apple.co/therichmondway
Two books stacked on top of each other. The title of the book is, “The Richmond Way.” Text underneath the title reads, “The Unbelievable Season of a Football Underdog.” An illustration of a dog is underneath with text that reads, “A.F.C. Richmond.” At the bottom is the author’s name, “Trent Crimm.” On the side of the book cover is a black sticker that reads, “Ted Lasso Streaming on Apple TV.” The other side of the book has text that reads, “Exclusive Excerpt.”

If Milwaukee and Cleveland meet in the World Series, it would be the first time in history that the World Series features two cities where the Edmund Fitzgerald once docked. In case you were wondering.

Breaking News: Scientists have used A.I. to create new viruses for the first time, raising hopes for medical advances while also raising the possibility that the technology could someday be used to invent dangerous pathogens. nyti.ms/4bxx7Wy

This A.I. Just Created Viruses Not Found in Nature

Scientists trained artificial intelligence on libraries of DNA and then asked the model to create recipes for viral genomes. Sixteen of them were viable, yielding new viruses.

RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'" Trump: "Right"
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Factual and mathematical error A 100% reduction means the entire original value is removed, resulting in a final amount of zero. It signifies complete elimination or a 100% discount, such as a price dropping from $600 to 0$ increase from $100 to $600 is 500% increase mathcentre.ac.uk/resources/uplo… vedantu.com/calculator/per… calculator.net/percent-calcul…

A few new faces around here so let me reintroduce myself! I’m Ellie, I’m a @Cambridge_Uni Mathematics Masters Graduate who loves sharing the beauty of mathematics and STEM. I started my career in the space industry as a Space Systems Optimisation Engineer and later an Astrodynamics Software Engineer. I then moved to Machine Learning and worked as an Engineer. And I’m starting a new chapter very soon which I can’t wait to share more details about 😉 Throughout that time I’ve been an avid mathematics and science communicator from the UK, sharing content online (i’m on all platforms). I also engage audiences through talks, public speaking, and other STEM outreach. I use this space to show that education is for all and that there lies SO much beauty in mathematics and STEM, and I hope to share that through my outreach ☺️ All socials: linktr.ee/elliesleightholm
