“I combined my passion for enabling others and creating societal impact with my experience in healthcare decision-making, moving into governmental affairs and patient advocacy. Today, I work at the interface of science, policy and society, bringing together companies, patient organisations and institutions. My mathematical background helps me translate between perspectives (...).” - Johanna Grames

“(...) One day, while I was at work, I started a conversation with one of the customers who eventually started telling me about a degree in mathematics she was doing. I was so intrigued by the things she said that a few days later we ended up talking about ring theory over ramen.” - Aleksandra Brodowy

Check out our latest blog post by Shreya Roychoudhury, the founder of Mathemagica (Instagram: @math.emagica): “I am an engineer, a founder, and a woman who refuses to be subtracted from the equation. At Mathemagica, we are proving that while prejudice might be a variable we have to deal with, our potential is a constant. We are here to stay, and we are here to solve.”

“Looking back, my path has not been linear, and I changed direction more than once; however, what has stayed constant is curiosity, even when the topics and the places were changing. This is also what I like most about mathematics: there is room for many different trajectories, as long as you keep following questions that genuinely interest you.” - Mikaela Iacobelli

“After a long career, I am convinced that at every level of learning, it is possible to create an authentic picture of mathematics and convey an impression of how mathematics forms its own world of well-ordered structures with a striking internal consistency, and how this is precisely what makes it so effective in applications.” - Lisa Hefendehl-Hebeker

Jessy Randall writes poems about historical women in STEM - “As a librarian and a poet, what could I do, exactly? Well, I wrote a collection of poems about historical women in STEM fields. Maybe not the most effective form of resistance, but the project staved off my feelings of helplessness and hopelessness.”

✨ Deepening our connection with the maths community
✨ Sparking conversations across platforms
✨ Reaching new audiences who haven’t heard these stories — yetWe’d love to welcome someone who:
💬 Enjoys connecting with people online
🔍 Is proactive and curious about community building
📐 Has some connection to mathematics or STEM (broadly defined!)
🧠 Speaks and writes English fluently (ideally natively)
👩🔬 Identifies as a woman — because representation mattersThis is a volunteer role — but you’ll be part of a small, supportive, international team on a mission to spotlight the diverse and human side of mathematics.
If this sounds like you — or someone you know — get in touch!
📩 Just drop us a message or email at [email protected]. We’d love to hear from you.#HerMathsStory #CallForVolunteers #WomenInMaths #STEMCommunity #SocialMediaOpportunity #MathsInTheWorld

“Although mathematics may appear too abstract and detached from real life to most people, everybody has been exposed to hot topics such as digital security or artificial intelligence, which, in fact, rely heavily on progress in mathematics. I therefore strongly believe that maths is invaluable to our society and a field worth pursuing a career in.” - Mihyun Kang

🎉 We’re back! After a refreshing summer break, Her Maths Story is returning with more powerful and personal insights into the lives of women in mathematics.
In the first half of 2025, we’ve shared stories of women applying maths in deeply meaningful ways — across data science, biology, quantum information, education, and the arts. Their paths have taken them through academia and industry, from poetry to policymaking, and across continents.
💫 Whether overcoming stereotypes, crossing disciplinary boundaries, or redefining what a mathematician looks like, each story reveals the creativity, resilience, and individuality behind mathematical work.
🌐 Together, they remind us that mathematics is not only technical — it’s human, global, and present in places we might not expect.📢 What’s next?
We’ve got more inspiring stories ahead — including how maths helps us understand change in all its forms, and how creative expression can bring mathematical stories to life. ✨
Stay tuned — there’s much more to come!#HerMathsStory #WomenInMaths #MathsInTheWorld #WomenInSTEM #STEMStories #InspiringWomen

“My PhD was all about understanding what happens to blood flow in collapsible blood vessels like the giraffe jugular vein. In my postdoc I was investigating how to optimise ventilator settings for patients in ICU and then how to deliver inhaled therapies into the lungs. Since then, my focus has been in trying to understand how diseases like Asthma and other respiratory diseases originate and then progress. This involves incorporating biology and physics into mathematical and computational models, using approaches from different areas of applied maths. More recently I have started to look into the mechanisms that could lead to a rare lung disease called lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) and Long Covid.” - Bindi Brook

This beautiful crocheted Richmond minimal surface - crafted by Hanne Kekkonen (who we had the honour to feature already: 📖 https://hermathsstory.eu/hanne-kekkonen/) and featured in [📄] - is a perfect example of how mathematics and arts intertwine.
And what better occasion to celebrate this than Pi Day - the International Day of Mathematics? This year’s theme “Mathematics, Art, and Creativity” highlights how maths shapes the world around us in unexpected and artistic ways.
Want to explore more? Here are five fascinating reads on π, where we rate the maths proficiency level from 🟡 (suitable for everyone) to 🔴 (for maths geeks):
🟡 Pi, explained! https://www.snexplores.org/article/lets-learn-about-pi
What is pi, and why does it pop up everywhere? A beginner-friendly dive into the world’s most famous irrational number.🟠 When maths meets arts https://www.snexplores.org/article/math-is-muse-for-these-artists
From sculptures to paintings - how artists use mathematical ideas to create stunning works🟠 How pi took over the world https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/math/g26630324/what-is-pi/
A whirlwind history of pi, from ancient times to cutting-edge research.🟠 7 maths facts that will blow your mind https://www.newscientist.com/article/2418890-these-7-mathematical-facts-will-blow-your-mind/
Pi is just the beginning - get ready for some mind-bending maths!🔴 Pi and... string theory?! https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/string-theorists-accidentally-find-a-new-formula-for-pi/

“Since my goal was to solve a problem no one had ever solved before, it required a creative and flexible approach, one that emphasized the exploration, experimentation, and steady refinement of ideas. But perhaps the most important lesson I learned was that there is no single “correct” way to be a mathematician.” - Katy Micek

🌍✨ Celebrating the power of mentorship and role models this #InternationalWomensDay! 💫
Today, we honour the incredible women in mathematics from all around the world who are paving the way for future generations. We picked three quotes from fantastic women we featured who reflect on the role models and mentors who shaped their journey:
💬 “Although I may have never told her, [my PhD advisor] has always been my role model in this field. My aspiration is to be a source of inspiration and guidance for my students, just as she was for me.” (Liliana Esquivel) 📖 https://hermathsstory.eu/liliana-esquivel/
💬 “(...) I took the route of role models like Howard Wolowitz from the Big Bang Theory and Dr. Amelia Brand from Interstellar, and chose a degree in Aerospace Engineering.” (Sanchita Chakraborty) 📖 https://hermathsstory.eu/sanchita-chakraborty/
💬 “(...) I had a meeting where my mentor said “when you go to graduate school”. I had no idea what graduate school was, but I knew that if she believed in me, then I should go to graduate school.” (Pamela Estephania Harris) 📖 https://hermathsstory.eu/pamela-estephania-harris/
🔍 Tip: You can search our stories for specific hashtags, e.g. https://hermathsstory.eu/tag/mentors/.
