Welcome to Math, Chocolate and Circus! I’m a mathematician working at a large research university in Australia, spouse of another mathematician miraculously employed at the same institution, mother of a toddler, and lover of chocolate. I bake a lot, usually with chocolate, and I like hanging from sheets of fabric rigged to the ceiling in my “free time”. I love sarcasm but I’m not jaded.
You might enjoy reading this blog if:
- You are my mom.
- You are an early career academic and you enjoy reading about other people who have survived so far.
- You are a woman in math, science or engineering and interested in another woman’s experience.
- You like reading about mathematicians.
- You like chocolate and want recipes.
