Good to see another diamond open access journal in combinatorics being launched. I hope it will be a great success.
Welcome to "Innovation in Graph Theory", a young open access journal on graph theory and its interactions igt.centre-mersenne.org/ which joined Mersenne!

To whet your appetite, here is a personal account of the last BCC from two first-time participants
Check out this write-up of the @UKCombinatorics conference by two of my PhD students on the @QMULMaths Combinatorics Group blog.

Interesting thread with some great pictures on the #CambridgePeregrines.
Seeing these birds is always a reminder of the mountains -- much-needed in such a flat place as Cambridge!
Hello to all our new followers! It’s been quite a year for the #CambridgePeregrines - in fact, 2023 has been their most successful breeding season to date. Here’s a thread that explains their story so far… 🧵

All at Murray Edwards were deeply saddened at the death on 3 May of Vicky Neale, a much-loved former Fellow of the College and a passionate champion of mathematics, especially for girls. Our tribute to Vicky, ‘an exceptionally vivid person’, is here: murrayedwards.cam.ac.uk/news…

Fun but tough morning at the Cambridge Boundary Run yesterday. Happy to get under 3:30 despite pacing it terribly and really struggling at the end (amidst the mud, hills and headwind).

Big thanks to @CUHandH for a well-organised race with friendly marshalls, a (mostly) well-marked course, and copious food en route and at the finish (if there is a hot cross bun and jelly baby shortage in Cambridge this week you know who to blame!).

As usual, a really interesting line-up of speakers for the annual London Colloquia in Combinatorics.

We've got a really exciting guest speaker for our next School Colloquium.
Prof. Lauren Williams from @HarvardMath is giving a talk on combinatorics of hopping particles and positivity in Markov chains.
Full details below, everyone welcome!

Today is International Day of Women and Girls in Science.
Last year, we spoke to female mathematicians @QMUL about their participation in mathematics and how we can create safe, collaborative, engaging spaces.
Read their words of wisdom here 👇

This would indeed be amazing.
Any thoughts @wtgowers and @seeker235 ?

Proud husband moment ...
Absolutely thrilled to share that I have been awarded a Polar Medal🎖️by HM the King in the UK 2023 New Years Honours list! I am still in shock… sincere thanks to family, friends and colleagues who have supported me. This is for you🤗 #NewYearsHonours #Antarctic 🇦🇶 1/7

I recommend this podcast to @QMULMaths students.
Lots of good stuff on statistics, probability, and (particularly) public communication -- a thing we don't talk about enough with students.
David and Vicky are both engaging communicators of maths and stats.
I'm excited to say there's a new episode of my #MathsPlusCancer podcast now at oxford.shorthandstories.com/… . This week my guest is the brilliant @d_spiegel. We talked cancer stats, communication of risk & empowering patients. If you find it interesting, please tell your friends!

Our combinatorics group held a small workshop with colleagues from @LSEMaths and @MathematicsUCL .
Really fun to get together and do maths with friends, old and new! Hopefully the beginning of some fresh collaborations too.
