Last year BBC Breakfast launched a puzzle advent calendar in collaboration with GCHQ. It was a huge hit and so they want to follow it up a bi-weekly challenge (probably Monday and Friday) in the Spring, set by a panel of experts/quizzers. They are "are hoping to recruit around a dozen of the best minds in the country to help set these challenges", in this case female minds for gender balance.
Take a break from a busy week and make some mathematical crafts. Join us at 12 pm in N4.01 on Friday the 20th. Materials and a Taylors sandwich lunch provided. Please indicate attendance for catering purposes by 5pm on the 17th.
Inspired by Sergio in Mathematical Biology, we are making a film about how mathematics is expressed or conceived in different languages. As part of that, we would like speakers of as many different languages as possible to say how a selection of terms are expressed in their native tongue. Literally 60 second work (if you can remember the translation). Please email Dyrol.

PhDYourWay are running a free online webinar, entitled "Is a Maths PhD Right for Me?", sponsored by the London Mathematical Society Inclusion and Diversity Fund, and the Institute of Mathematics and its applications.
If a PhD seems mysterious, overwhelming, or just plain confusing, this is your chance to get the inside scoop from people who are living it right now. Join a one-hour live Q&A with current Mathematics PhD students from across the UK, who will share their insights about:
