My name is Mason Porter. I am a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at UCLA. Previously I was Professor of Nonlinear and Complex Systems in the Mathematical Institute at University of Oxford. I was also a Tutorial Fellow of Somerville College.
Today I am off to the "Snowbird Meeting" (aka the SIAM applied-dynamical systems conference) for the latest instantiation of my favorite scientific conference series.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has announced its 2023 inductees.
Of the acts on the ballot this year, the ones for which I cast a vote are Kate Bush (who made it) and Cyndi Lauper, New Order/Joy Division, and Warren Zevon (who didn't).
