Two suggestions for New Year's resolutions:

1. uninstall Instagram (etc.) from your phone, check only in browser (still connect with friends, waste less time)

2. designate your bedroom a no-phone zone (and instead read books, watch stuff, cuddle, get more sleep, etc.)

Born #OnThisDay in 1780 was the polymath Mary Somerville. She was the first woman to have a paper read to and published by the Royal Society with her paper on the relationship between light and magnetism, and she in fact inspired the coining of the word 'scientist' itself. #WomenInSTEM

A friend just gave me "The Mathematicians' Library" - early xmas gift. It's a beautiful looking tour of great books of mathematics from history. Lovely reproductions. Can't wait to properly read it.
