Happy #nowrooz.

The first day of spring and the Persian new year.

Just for those who don't know the scientific background of how the new year is calculated and the moment of "Sal Tahvil" (delivery of the year, or handover of the year).

#Khayyam did this in 11th century, loooong before westerners even admitted that the earth revolves around the sun.

Happy #Nowruz to all who celebrate. Makes much more sense to me to celebrate the #NewYear at the beginning of spring on an astronomically significant day rather than on some odd, astronomically insignificant day in mid-winter. I mean, what’s up with that anyway? So to celebrate Nowruz, which BTW is observed by an enormous population including in Iran, Central and South Asia, I’m posting a short video memorial to one of the greatest #mathematicians ever, who happened to be an #Iranian woman, Maryam Mirzakhani. The first woman to win the Field’s Prize, math’s equivalent to the Nobel, Mirzakhani broke barriers and forever changed her chosen field. A Harvard graduate and former professor at both Princeton and Stanford, she deserves more attention than she gets. Regrettably, she died far too young at 40. May the new year bring us more genius minds like hers. #math #mathematics #STEM #WomenInSTEM #science
