This is an unusual week in that I've had to drive to the town of Truro, Nova Scotia, at least 5 times, which is more than I usually do in a year. Truro is the hub of the province, which is to say the place most people drive by or stop at for gas a 'relief'.

Maryam Mirzakhani was the first woman & Iranian to earn the Fields Medal in mathematics for her brilliant work in hyperbolic geometry.

Her achievements influenced quantum field theory, engineering & material science & may have applications related to how the universe began.

Mirzakhani was an immigrant & became a Stanford professor. She passed away at just 40 in 2017. In her words:

My brother-in-law advertised for waitstaff at his tavern, the oldest, most well-known tavern in his region. Lots of people applied, 18 resumes were selected and interviews were lined up. 0 of the candidates showed up.

It has repeated, and the response from the company has been insufficient. 1/
