If youβre setting off for #TMiP23 today, donβt forget to take a COVID test before you set off, or before joining us at the event, to help us keep everyone safe. If your test is positive, contact the organisers ([email protected]) about joining remotely instead.

If youβre coming to @TMiPUK next week, donβt forget we have a swap table: bring the maths outreach resources cluttering up your cupboard because you havenβt used them in ages, and swap them for something new you can use to talk about maths!

Need a publicity headshot? Attendees at TMiP2023 can get their photograph taken professionally β FOR FREE! Itβs almost worth the conference fee. To celebrate, here's a thread of previous TMiP headshots seen in the wild.
Taking a break from maternity leave to attend a special @Ri_Science #RiMasterclasses event at @MathsatBath - loads of fun exploring the maths of polyhedra & spirographs so far! Who knew planetary orbits are just like spirographs? Thanks to @samkampo & @jennypowerhour @SAMBa_CDT

Huge thanks to the organisations making it possible, and to my co-organisers - I can take very little organisational credit so far this year (been busy growing a small human to the point of making disgusted broccoli faces) so am completely unbiased in saying it'll be excellent

Loved @Hana_SciArt's #MathsArtChallenge on @24hmaths, such great competitors! Loads of inspiration for my next set of black and white drawings to keep The Daughter entertained for approx 10 seconds (yes, everything in my life currently revolves around the tiny human)
