The next talk at this workshop (Structures - Polyhedra, Meshes, Platforms, at RICAM in Linz) is “Exploring T-hedral Origami across varied topologies”, by Kiumars Sharifmoghaddam.
Nathan Toups interviewed me on his podcast, “Functionally Imperative”. Among other things, we talked about 3D printing, VR, making stuff, the internet, and aphantasia. https://youtu.be/dcS8FjGaOws?si=HmCQr7YQuInP9tVQ
Surprised to find out that our Cannon-Thurston carving won a prize in the Mathematical Art Exhibition at the Joint Mathematics Meetings! With @saulsch and Will Segerman.
At the Serious recreational mathematics session at the joint mathematics meeting. Persi Diaconis’ train is stuck on the way to San Francisco so Erik Demaine is “improvising”, talking about curved origami.
Slide-glide cyclides - a design discovered by Andrew Kepert when investigating ways to “see” why the area of a sphere is four times the area of a disk of the same radius. I added the gears and the base. Full video: https://youtu.be/KD_hRn_97RI
