Since the fall, Trang Duong 22 has worked as a researcher with Oxford University’s Clinical Research Unit (OUCRU), which is modeling COVID-19 cases and transmission in her home country of Vietnam.
Trang, a math major who is also planning to minor in data science, had been doing her own research on COVID-19 in the summer and, looking for a more formal role, found a data scientist on LinkedIn who is part of the Oxford research unit. I messaged him to learn more about his work. After our chat, he offered me an interview with the head of mathematical modelling at OUCRU and I got an internship offer, she explains. And while the internship ended in January, Trang has been kept on as a research assistant.

Institute Professor Emeritus Isadore M. Singer, an enormously influential figure in 20th-century science whose work united mathematics and physics, died on Feb. 11. He was 96.
In a career that spanned more than 50 years, Singer not only profoundly affected the development of mathematics, but discovered connections between math and physics that led to the creation of a new field, index theory. Singer was the recipient of numerous awards and honors for his pioneering work, including the National Medal of Sc

It’s been over 30 years since Shirley Mathis McBay first went to Capitol Hill with an urgent message.
She implored members of Congress to take action to increase the numbers of minorities and women in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math. And she didn’t mince words.
“In the search for knowledge in science and engineering, the worst intellectual crime one can commit is to prejudice one’s results, to prejudge how something will turn out. However, this is precisely what we are doing when we fail from elementary school to graduate school to encourage women and minorities to enter the fields of science and engineering,” McBay told the congressional panel, titled “Reclaiming
