@mathforge.org has done what I’ve never been organised enough to do myself, and catalogued every #geometrypuzzle I’ve ever posted on social media. It looks amazing!

Honestly, I'm rubbish at marketing.
I hate it. Putting stuff out there with the idea that people might not like it or want it, makes me feel all sick.
BUT I need to tell you about the open presentation workshops I'm doing in aug.
