Hooray for bioluminescence. Noctiluca are magical, especially under my feet after a new moon.
“When most people think of a mathematician, they picture a nerd engrossed in scribbles and equations, a calculator in one hand, chalk in the other, oblivious to anything but numbers and geometric shapes - not an image most people would aspire to. The image of a mathematician within the mathematics community, however, is quite different. It is a romantic image of an explorer, living a life filled with adventure, discovery, and excitement. As one mathematician, Judy Roitman, says, it’s like being a deep-sea diver, diving into an endless ocean, and being constantly delighted by the beautiful discoveries that lie beneath the surface.”
