Having far too much fun on my first visit to @mathsworlduk for an evening of Maths Inspiration. Thanks to all of the teachers for coming along - you’re the real superstars <3 People of the US, you can now sign-up for a special goodreads giveaway of my upcoming book “How Many Pikachus Would It Take To Power A Lightbulb?” to get your hands on a copy before everyone else! We’re nearly there - the penultimate group of essays in the 2026 TRM Essay Showcase is here. Pokémon Pictionary with MQ Tate coming soon! How many can you recognise from the drawings? Had a great time learning physics today with Zhelyo from Z-Physics in the beautiful surroundings of the Old Library @stedmundhall. NEW VIDEO: We need to talk about Navier-Stokes... How to summarise the @hlforum? How about making 300 new friends over a week of academic learning, debate, and enthusiasm. A true honour to be invited back each year <3 Roll up, roll up, one and all to see the wonders of mathematics before your very eyes! Welcome to the 28th group of essays in the 2026 TRM Essay Showcase. SO much fun to visit @kurpfalz_internat this week whilst in Heidelberg for @hlforum. TRM Essay Showcase Group 27 (of 30) features deep - and topical - questions asking whether maths can uncover structures without human input, whether the subject is truly logical, and why is it so successful at describing our universe? Yu Deng - 2026 Fields Medal - and Dennis Sullivan - 2022 Abel Prize @hlforum. Such a pleasure to not only be back in Heidelberg for the @hlforum, but also to be asked to host the Opening Ceremony to kick-off a week of learning with the greatest minds in Mathematics and Computer Science.
