  1. 33-year-old mathematician Wang Hong from the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences (CIMS-NYU) has proved the century-old Kakeya conjecture in three dimensions with collaborator Joshua Zahl!

    The problem is rooted in the question: what's the smallest area that an infinitely thin needle can sweep out if it has to be turned to point in every possible direction?

  6. #Wanghong #Urbanism (internet celebrity urbanism): Me and my geographic pals (Amy and Asa) have written a small (5k) piece for the open access Mediapolis Journal on the idea of wanghong urbanism. It's something we've been playing with in our DMs for a while.

    mediapolisjournal.com/2022/11/

    We discuss urban-digital spectacles, relevant in relation to recent events maybe.

    It was aa nice experience publishing with Mediapolis, you should do it too #China #ChinaStudies #DigitalGeography #HumanGeography

  7. I guess an #introduction : I research the #geography - #humangeography and #digitalgeography - of #China and am working at Leiden university in #Chinastudies .

    I'm currently teaching digital society in contemporary china, china's digital geographies, and strategic communication and china.

    I look at things like #migration, #wechat, #food economies, #wanghong (internet celebrity) urbanism, and broader politics of digital social life.

    Currently confused by Mastodon :3 I also like #boardgames
