First day of classes for the new academic year! So looking forward to meeting the students in my Wharton MBA class on Geo-economics, and to our conversations. #Wharton# #GeoEconomics# #HigherEd# #AcademicYear# #FirstDayOfClass# @Wharton @Penn #penn#

This month, TPSE Math is convening leaders from across the mathematical sciences, higher education, industry, and partner organizations for the 2026 Modernizing Undergraduate Math Summit. The summit will focus on how undergraduate mathematics can better prepare students for an AI-infused, data-rich, and rapidly changing world. Participants will explore principles for modern undergraduate math, scalable course innovations, flexible pathways, quantitative reasoning, and strategies for coordinated national implementation. Special thanks to @Harvard, @HarvardMath for hosting. This is an invite-only working summit, but the work is intended to extend well beyond the room. Follow TPSE Math for summit updates, outcomes, and future opportunities to engage. #UndergraduateMath# #MathEducation# #HigherEd# #AIinEducation# #STEMEducation# #EducationInnovation#

I’ve been writing a cultural column on American higher ed for @caixin for the past 6 months and am the youngest columnist in its history. Nice to visit its headquarter in Beijing for an interview.
