The @oxford_uni digital outreach portal @letsoxplore recently reached its 50th BIG question, so to celebrate we have a very special livestream event at 2pm on March 29th. Register for FREE at tomrocksmaths.com (link on profile), and in the meantime enjoy some of my favourite highlights from the previous live events! #tomrocksmaths #ilovemath #mathematics #mathematician #oxford #oxforduniversity #outreach #wideningparticipation #publicengagement #oxplore #BIGquestions #livestream #debate #academics #students #schools #getinvolved #language #colour #planet #spacetravel #math #maths #science #scicomm #tutor #teacher

Many congratulations to Karen Uhlenbeck - the recipient of the 2019 Abel Prize and the first woman to win the award. Her work spans many fields, including minimisation of surfaces such as those formed by soap bubbles. In this video from Ray Goldstein @cambridgeuniversity the supporting rings are slowly pulled apart causing the shape of the soap film to change and eventually burst. #abelprize #norway #oslo #womeninstem #womeninmath #pioneer #trailblazer #abel #math #maths #mathematics #mathematician #tomrocksmaths #ilovemath #prize #winner #laureate #award #congratulations

I challenge you to find a better definition of pi - sneak preview from my talk @uniofbath tomorrow at 6:30pm.

Clouds are awesome. This beautiful spiral pattern is called a Kelvin-Helmholtz instability which forms due to friction generated between two layers of fluid with different densities moving past one another. For more cloud-based fun check out my latest interview with BBC Radio Oxford at tomrocksmaths.com where I answer 6 year old Betsy’s question: what’s faster, me running or a cloud?

Here’s me @houses_of_parliament yesterday talking maths research in the final of the STEM for Britain competition. Had a great chat with MPs about how best to clean up pollution in our oceans. #tomrocksmaths #maths #math #mathematics #ilovemath #westminster #parliament #mathematician #london #stem #education #research #oxford #cambridge #pollution #rivers #oceans #modelling #environment #cleanup

Happy #piday !! To celebrate here’s my mum hitting me in the face with a pie... #314day #ilovemath #mathematics #math #maths #mathematician #pi #pie #tomrocksmaths #circus #clown #comedy #family #mum #food #holiday
