Maryam Mirzakhani was the first woman & Iranian to earn the Fields Medal in math for her brilliant work in hyperbolic geometry.
Her achievements influenced quantum field theory, engineering & material science & may have applications related to how the universe began.
Mirzakhani was an immigrant & became a Stanford professor. She passed away at just 40 in 2017. In her words:
โThe beauty of mathematics only shows itself to more patient followers.โ

Maryam Mirzakhani was a role model for more than just her mathematics
Mirzakhani blazed to the top of her field due to her talent. But who she was and where she came from also make her a role model for those from underrepresented demographics in the world of math.The Conversation
Dr. Maryam is not only a great Mathematician but she was also a great ambassador for Math as she openly spoke about how she suffered from Math anxiety when she was young, Faced humiliation from teachers because of it and yet overcame it see the beauty in Math.
Very few in her position would have the inclination to reveal such things.

Wombat Lockdown Wildlife Photographer of the Year Finalist.
Douglas Gimesy (Australia) shows two baby bare-nosed wombats asleep at the home of their caregiver during lockdown.
These baby wombats were found alive inside their mothers' pouches after their mothers โ survivors of bushfires in the Australian state of Victoria โ were killed by cars. Usually the pair would have been cared for at Goongerah Wombat Orphanage, but with the COVID-19 lockdown in place Emily Small had to provide them with their regular feeds at her apartment instead.
When these young wombats are released back into the wild, they will once again have to survive the effects of the climate emergency, including floods, drought and bushfires. If this wasn't enough, they will also have to cope with habitat destruction and avoiding collisions with cars on country roads.

Oddly, the early days of computing programmers were disproportionately women.
Coding in machine language took persistence, precision and a lot of effort for small reward
Once higher level languages took over (and money & prestige rose) men started to dominate that field.

Trying to just treat AI as more of the same.
Any feedback?
h/t to my colleague Rick Stevens, from whom I forked this.
I see you have a section specifically addressing AI generally. I wonder if it would help to be more specific. For example, any student typing part of their work on a phone or tablet will see AI generated text predictions and autocorrections. Is merely seeing the prediction โusing AIโ and requires attribution. If so, how? is it a new type of citation?
Just sharing thoughts since you asked. Havenโt taken a college class in 20 years and have never taught one, so I have little experience.
Here's an example of a software company explaining some details of the AI for their autocorrect typewise.app/blog/build-autocoโฆ

a fun exercise might be to ask students to use AI to write an essay and then the students need to critique the essay that AI wrote.
I asked ChatGPT a technical co-op tax question. It was undergrad-level well written but the content was just wrong. It used platitudes to cover for lack of knowledge.
