    Dear all,

    Sara and I are having office hours right now, here, until 5pm Eastern time today. We are taking questions on the webinars, assignments, further reading, etc. Just pop in whenever works for you!

    And next week we will be having our reading club, 3-5pm Eastern again. We are discussing Dr. Francis Su's speech and/or book "Mathematics for Human Flourishing". The plan is to have two 1h-long discussions, one starting at 3pm Eastern and one starting at 4pm Eastern, so feel free to join whichever works best for your schedule!

    Looking forward to more of those fruitful discussions,
    Rosalie and Sara your webinar facilitators
