Gender Trends in Computer Science Authorship: https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2021/3/250708-gender-trends-in-computer-science-authorship

Takeaways for me (mostly from the barely-readable Fig. 4) are:
- Roughly one in four coauthors of CS research publications are currently female, up from a big dip of one in seven in the 1970s to 1990s
- Mathematics started lower and is currently more or less the same
- We are not on track to gender parity

#introduction
I'm a PhD student in Melbourne, Australia. I work on localising the Sustainable Development Goals in rural areas, and my sub-fields range from human geography and scenario development through to large scale dynamic modelling.

I'm a first gen Australian white cis woman with Hungarian heritage. My partner @cefiar and I are guardians of two ageing tortoiseshell burmese cats named Salome and Chrissy and we toot pics of them using #BurmeseLyf

What if academia but without the Hero's Journey trope? ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero%27s_journey ) Fewer grad students lost to the Abyss?

It's frustrating when a 10 year old computer can't get on facebook or watch 480p on youtube anymore, even thought it could five years ago.

The computer hasn't changed.

Facebook and youtube have become more complicated. They didn't need to, but they could get more complicated because the average computer got faster, and the average internet connection got faster over that time span.

So a computer that could do X lost it's ability to do X as a result of a third party.

That's frustrating.

A really important step toward always more #OpenScience taken by #cern. 👏👏👏

I would love to follow #blogs from interesting people. Please suggest!

I should clarify that I don't know the "famous" blogs either that are generally followed by tech, software etc engineers and scientists.

Therefore, all sorts of suggestions are welcome. Please RT, thanks!

Today is the day you got your boss-friendly reason to remove Google third-party functionality from your website.

Take advantage of it!

#introduction Hi, My name is Amal and I'm from India. I am a graduate student who is interested in algebraic geometry. I love math and I love to talk about math.

Good to see that the pandemic hasn't affected every aspect of our lives. SoDA is still charging exorbitant registration fees:

#Introduction
Mathematically, I can't say much. I did some work with (nonsmooth) dynamical systems as an undergrad, and now I'm interested in many things such as Nathan Kutz's work on data-driven modeling of dynamical systems (e.g. SINDy, koopman linearization).

Academically, I recently got back in school for an MS (and hopefully PhD eventually). I'm trying to get through my classwork and qualifying exams in order to start doing research again.

Thanks for having me!

My paper where I prove the optimality of the smallest known sorting networks with 11 and 12 channels is out on arXiv: https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.04400

Those were known since 1969, but whether smaller exist was an open problem since. 1/n

@ColinTheMathmo Hi, thanks for the welcome! I'm a future PhD student in applied mathematics with a focus on signal and image processing. I'm particularly interested in mathematics for audio applications. I'm also a musician and I love science fiction. #Introduction
