"So many mathematicians share powerful stories about how they engaged with math beyond school settings and I use those vignettes to describe to teachers and educators and the lay public a different vision for how we can all do mathematics. And I always hope in my talks to reframe math as something interesting and worthwhile for the lay public – instead of something to be dreaded!"
