We now have TikTok to add to our social media stable (armoury?). For those of you who think TikTok is just full of ten second videos of animals, latest research suggests that 50% of all TikTok users in the USA are over 30 and 30% of 18-29 year-olds in the USA get news from TikTok. Also, when the University had all its recent issues with admissions tests, the largest proportion of feedback came on TikTok.

Don't forget about our next Fridays@2 event, Talking Maths with Dr James Munro! 

At some point you might find yourself talking about mathematics either at a conference, or in a seminar, or in a presentation as part of your course, or on an outreach event, or to a future employer. This Fridays@2 session has advice for various situations, with concrete actions and suggestions for you to take into consideration the next time you're talking maths.

It's great to see so many of our undergraduates making use of the Andrew Wiles Building to study and socialise! However, please be aware that the operational hours of the building  are 8am-6pm, Monday - Friday (except on closure days such as over Christmas, around Easter and some bank holidays) with the main doors unlocked 8:15am - 5:30pm (when undergraduates can thus freely enter the building and use the mezzanine study spaces). Those without card access to the building such as undergraduates must leave the building by 6:15pm.
