Spectre the Friendly Monotile, based on a new result by David Smith, Joseph Myer, @cs_kaplan , and @mathbun1 .
"Board games are a celebration of problem-solving and problem-solving is at the core of a quality mathematics education... That’s why it is the #1 job of the parent to establish a culture of board gaming in the home."

For more than 50 years, mathematicians have sought an “einstein”--a simple shape that can only tile the plane nonperiodically. Now a retired print technician has found one! My latest for @QuantaMagazine quantamagazine.org/hobbyist-…
This is so amazing. Look at it, it's so beautiful.

“Mathematicians descended on Boston last week for the first in-person Joint Math Meetings since the start of the pandemic. But ongoing tensions over how the community fosters—or fails to foster—diversity and inclusion loomed large.” — @susan_dagostino
