Mathematician Mirzakhani, Princess of Persia

Maryam Mirzakhani: Iranian newspapers break hijab taboo in tributes https://t.co/PEagGu8AUx

It's a wonderful story.  It's an inspiring story:  Iran’s state-run newspapers break with the country’s strict rules and show the mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani the way she was, with her head uncovered, as the country mourns her death at the age of 40. 

Mirzakhani was the first and (so far) only woman to be awarded a Fields Medal.  That was three years ago. 
The world will always have her work, and these stories.

Do you ask WHY? Reflections on everything uni.

1.
Just chill!
 
This 2017 commencement speaker studied Mechanical engineering (commonsense?) and Accounting (obsolescence?) at AUC.  What was the point? 

2.
The three-horned bull, whenever you're ready.

3.
The why of studying education?
 
Question everything, even the foundations.

My sisters watched it in theaters months ago with my young cousin, and they said oh I just had to see it.  I've just watched it, finally, and oh yes.  Oh yes.  Even if you're old-fashioned and racist, don't deprive yourself of a very fine movie.
