pi = 3.14159... while 22/7 = 3.14285... so 22/7 is bigger. But here's a cute proof that 22/7 is bigger.

The integral that gives 22/7 - pi is surprisingly elegant, and it's clearly positive since you're integrating a positive function. pic.twitter.com/Dj2HJMYRJD
Once again, I'm very much okay with this shift in cultural standards.

"Be a good human" is getting ever-more commercially viable. I'm down with a future where it's cool to be protective and proactive at making the world better. https://t.co/iYsGxBQ9QF
When a scientist explains something in a way that makes it as simple as possible, it is because they want you to understand. When a scientist explains something in a way that makes it as complicated as possible, it is because they want you not to question.

The gulf between words written on the spines of non-curriculum math books and curriculum math books speaks a painful volume to the almost unbridgeable chasm that exists between the freedom of mathematics and its incarceration as a "performing seal"... pic.twitter.com/qLjWLNA1JQ

I didn't realize how much of data science was just getting data in a format where you could do science.

The head of Harvard's astronomy department thinks that Oumuamua - the mysterious object that shot through our solar system in 2017- could be an alien probe. In this interview he explains why. I'd say it's a long shot, but very interesting.https://t.co/0ffLDhmAto

Kind of astonishing to see both the US and UK governments light their own houses on fire based on some vague paranoid fear that someone else might want to come in

The "ultra-diffuse" dwarf NGC 1052-DF2 is back in the news with two new papers better-measuring the kinematics of its stars and GCs:https://t.co/CVcMdV3nCNhttps://t.co/pVaGgCbpum

I couldn't help but notice how similar DF2 is to the nearby Sagittarius dwarf

Remarkably, a tape recorder was running to help them track their data, so there is *audio* of Cocke and Disney realizing that they were really observing an optical pulsar. This is what a moment of discovery sounds like: pic.twitter.com/NeiAYCoWuM

Today I have made a decision I've been thinking about for a while. From 2020 I will follow Plan S https://t.co/fjXUwGKo7T as an individual researcher, no matter where my funds come from. Potential co-authors, students and postdocs, be aware. Read about it https://t.co/dpgR726EaG

There is a serious point here. Most students do not learn Greek in school anymore. You absolutely must *teach* the Greek alphabet as you introduce symbols. https://t.co/aSGJiu5rIr

I’m at a party where everyone is discussing the costs of their healthcare plans and I just...

...how can Americans pay this much to receive so little yet still think socialized healthcare is a bad idea?
I can’t even.
