“(…) I think the story of radiologists should be a reminder to technologists not to make sweeping assertions about the future of professions they don’t intimately understand. If we had indeed stopped training radiologists in 2016, we’d be in a real mess today.”

A promotional graphic for Her Maths Story featuring the documentary “Counted Out” by Vicki Abeles. The top section shows the HMS logo and a banner image with a crowd of people behind the film title “COUNT≠D OUT” in large red letters, alongside the tagline “Math is power.” Several film festival laurels appear along the bottom of the banner. Below, text reads: “Reflecting on ‘Counted Out’: A Conversation About Maths, Power, and Inclusion — By the Her Maths Story Team.”
In our latest blog post, we reflect on our #CountedOut screening event in mid-October and summarise the core action points we identified in the post-film discussion.
Share YOUR ideas on how you can take action personally to make the maths table more inclusive.

Figure 1: The important dimensions of CAILs across research and education; clockwise from 12 o’clock: Con- ceptual Clarity is the idea that terms should refer. Critical Thinking is deep engagement with the relationships between statements about the world. Decoloniality is the process of de-centring and addressing dominant harmful views and practices. Respecting Expertise is the epistemic compact between professionals and society. Slow Science is a disposition towards preferring psychologically, techno-socially, and epistemically healthy practices. The lines between dimensions represent how they are interwoven both directly and indirectly.
New preprint! @marentierra.bsky.social @irisvanrooij.bsky.social & I have been working on what CAIL means to showcase & propagate the idea of thinking very differently to tech industry norms on "artificial intelligence"

Minimalist white poster with a subtle crumpled-paper texture; small ‘whn.global’ logo centered at the top. A small intro line sits above a huge headline where ‘COVID’ is bright red and ‘is different.’ is black. Text: ‘Paraphrased from David Brasure’s WHN blog post, “COVID Is Different.” Read the full article at whn.global/covid-is-different. COVID is different. SARS-CoV-2 behaves differently from the viruses most of us grew up with. And treating it like “another flu” is costing people their health.’ Footer: The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.
Same white, paper-texture poster and top ‘whn.global’ logo. Large title reads ‘What makes COVID different?’ with ‘COVID’ in red, followed by a bulleted list. Text: ‘Paraphrased from David Brasure’s WHN blog post, “COVID Is Different.” Read the full article at whn.global/covid-is-different. What makes COVID different? • It can breach the blood–brain barrier • It can damage your endothelial lining and increase clot risk • It can persist in tissues • It can lower key immune cells • It may increase cancer risk • You can catch it multiple times per year These are not “normal cold virus” behaviors.’ Footer line about the World Health Network.
Same clean white poster with paper texture; ‘whn.global’ at top. Big statement line mid-page where ‘Long COVID’ appears in red and the rest in black; two short paragraphs below. Text: ‘Paraphrased from David Brasure’s WHN blog post, “COVID Is Different.” Read the full article at whn.global/covid-is-different. Long COVID is caused by SARS-CoV-2. Persistent symptoms come from real, documented damage. Not anxiety, not imagination, not “just needing rest.” Hundreds of thousands of studies show SARS-CoV-2 affects the body in ways we’re still uncovering. Just because you’ve had multiple infections and “felt fine” doesn’t mean it will stay that way.’ Footer line about the World Health Network.
Same minimalist white, paper-texture layout with ‘whn.global’ at top. A large heading ‘Here’s what you can do.’ sits above a simple bullet list; the final URL slug ‘covid-is-different’ is in red. Text: ‘Paraphrased from David Brasure’s WHN blog post, “COVID Is Different.” Read the full article at whn.global/covid-is-different. Here’s what you can do. • Improve air quality (filters, ventilation) • Wear a high-filtration mask in shared indoor air • Test when exposed or symptomatic • Stay home when sick • Use layered protections with friends, family, and workplaces Read more at whn.global/covid-is-different’ Footer line about the World Health Network.
COVID isn’t acting like the viruses most of us grew up with, and treating it like “just a cold” is putting people at real risk. David Brasure breaks down why SARS-CoV-2 is fundamentally different, how it causes long-term damage, and what we can do to protect ourselves.

The image shows a dark blue background with the Her Maths Story logo at the top. At the centre of the image, we have a rectangular graphic with light grey background, inside a rounded sage green rectangle, large dark-green text reads ‘What Can You Do?’ Beneath this, smaller text says: ‘A practical guide for those wishing to improve gender diversity in mathematical research.’ The top left shows the Piscopia Initiative and How to Train Your Allies logos. At the bottom corners are two cartoon-style characters: on the left, a light-skinned woman with long, curly, golden-brown hair, resting her chin on her hand and looking upward; on the right, a woman with medium-brown skin wearing a red hijab, also resting her chin on her hand and looking upward thoughtfully. Below the rectangular graphic, small text says: ‘by Rosie Evans & Ashleigh Ratcliffe’.
Ashleigh Ratcliffe & Rosie Evans wrote a blog post presenting their booklet on how to improve gender diversity in maths: “Sharing of information, opportunities and networks is invaluable, especially to first generation PhD students and minoritised groups.”
