OUImages_103826_previewIt's the Week 2 Student Bulletin! 

Only a few more weeks of teaching left for this academic year!

Read on for next Week's Fridays@11, an F1 Summer Placement opportunity, and the Science in the Age of Algorithms event.  

To celebrate International Women in Mathematics Day (May 12), Mathematrix is hosting a pizza lunch where we will watch ‘Journeys of Women in Mathematics’,  a powerful 20-minute film by the International Mathematical Union showcasing the experiences of women mathematicians worldwide. 

The film follows three mathematicians from India, Cameroon, and Brazil from their home institutions to the (WM)² international meeting, showing their research and what it’s like to be part of the global maths community.

The Knowledge Exchange Hub for the Mathematical Sciences has commissioned the award winning Active Bystander Training Company to deliver a focused, practical session designed to empower our community to challenge unacceptable behaviours — including those that may have become normalised over time.

Wednesday 20 May, 10:00 am - 11:30 am. Online and free
