From Cambridge to Cambridge. Observations from watching the election coverage. November 9, 2016. Where’s the swingometer? You can’t tell which party someone belongs to by the colour of their tie. I do not like this. Not one little bit. Echoes from Brexit: Lots of first time voters. Lots of “timid Trumpites”. Possible difference from Brexit: I’m not anticipating stories tomorrow of people saying “sure I voted for Trump, but I didn’t want him to actually. 8220;I think that’s media spin.”.

From Cambridge to Cambridge. Today I was ignored by an automatic door. On calling out bigotry →. My response to Rabbi Kimche. November 10, 2013. I’m angry. Very angry. Angry enough to write about it, which is saying something. Rabbi Kimche has written an open letter ( edit:. Now posted on his blog.

From Cambridge to Cambridge. On calling out bigotry. Corporations are people, and their rights trump yours. Welcome to America →. June 9, 2014. Today I received my first unsolicited “proof” that it’s possible to square the circle. A footnote on the first page reads. An advise: If you strongly believe that (1) 3.1415926… is the value of π.

From Cambridge to Cambridge. Monthly Archives: December 2014. My research in one sentence. December 18, 2014. Describing my research to non-mathematicians is tricky.

From Cambridge to Cambridge. Newer posts →. On calling out bigotry. March 6, 2014. A couple of weeks ago I was at a meal at a friend’s place. We were talking about the process of peer review for a paper; one of the other guests commented “you’re lucky it doesn’t get sent to India — you’d never hear about it again”.
