I teach a class on data science here at Illinois and during the seminar I host a competition for the class called "The Hunt for the Worst Data Visualization."

This is a great conference to go to! I'm not a mathematician and I find TMiP to be a useful conference to attend as a science communicator. And it's at my alma mater this year!
Talking Maths in Public is the UK's network for maths communicators. We run a conference every two years, and will shortly be opening sales for this year's event, 28th-30th Aug at @uni-of-warwick.bsky.social. Join our mailing list at http://talkingmathsi... for updates!

Beaded Archimedean Solids!!!
I had lots of fun over the past two weeks making these for the pigeonholes at the TMiP conference.

This event is always a high point of my calendar - I literally wouldn't have the maths communication career I currently enjoy without TMiP. Especially looking forward to this event now that I'm part of the team running it...

Proposed Changes to the Decennial Census
Hi TMIP community,
Since many of us in the travel modeling community rely on Census data for
our work, I thought this group might be interested in the proposed changes
to the decennial census.
Among other changes, the proposal would no longer include questions about
race and ethnicity on the decennial census questionnaire and would prohibit
questions about sexual orientation in the future. It would also change how
usual residence is determined, including establishing a census enumeration
period (rather than a single-day reference) and using tax and other
administrative records to help determine usual residence. [...]
