It’s officially spring! Today’s March equinox marks the end of winter for us in the Northern Hemisphere (and the beginning of fall for our friends in the Southern Hemisphere). Today the Sun will pass directly above the Equator, and we will experience almost equal amounts of day and night. You know what this means! Warm weather, birds chirping, flowers blooming. Comment what you’re looking forward to this spring!

Every science (and arts like Mathematics ;) ) should have an accessibility effort.

In a nutshell: Explaining the discipline, right up to the cutting edge, in simple terms, for anyone to understand.

And I don't mean just explaining each term once and then going back to opaque technospeak - a running translation effort, in order to bring the entire discipline into the commons of humanity.
