Despite the increasing number of women graduating in mathematics, a systemic gender imbalance persists and is signified by a pronounced gender gap in the distribution of active researchers and professors. Especially at the level of…
The Bologna Process has substantially reshaped higher education systems across Europe, including the structure of mathematical studies in Poland. One of the increasingly visible consequences of these transformations is the relatively low…
We present a set of principles and methodologies which may serve as foundations of a unifying theory of Mathematics. These principles are based on a new view of Grothendieck toposes as unifying spaces being able to act as `bridges' for…
Mathematical modelling has a long history in the context of collective cell migration, with applications throughout development, disease and regenerative medicine. The aim of modelling in this context is to provide a framework in which to…
The Washigton Post had published allegations, that results of Russian elections "violate Gauss's groundbreaking work on statistics." I show that these allegations lack scientific basis.
