April 22, 2013, we launched the AMS Blog on Math Blogs with a calendrically appropriate post about the Mathematics of Planet Earth blog<\/span><\/a>. I have written over 100 posts here about everything from World Tessellation Day<\/span><\/a> to math poetry<\/span><\/a> to specifications grading<\/span><\/a> to Fibonacci lemonade<\/span><\/a>. After five years here, it\u2019s time for me to move on and focus on other projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am deeply grateful to the AMS for the opportunity to work on my writing here, first as a postdoc and now as a full-time freelance writer. I got my start in math writing through a AAAS mass media fellowship sponsored by the AMS<\/span><\/a>, and not too long after wrapping that up, they gave me the opportunity to continue blogging here. Being part of the Blog on Math Blogs has helped me get plugged into the online math world, become visible as a math writer, and hone my voice. It has been an honor to work with the AMS through this blog. I hope the AMS continues to prioritize math communication and new math writers through its platform and financial support.<\/span><\/p>\n

My favorite number is six, so I\u2019d like to share six of the posts I am most proud of from my time blogging here. In chronological order:<\/span><\/p>\n

Mistakes Are Interesting
\n<\/a><\/span>Math and the Genius Myth
\n<\/a><\/span>There\u2019s Something about Pentagons
\n<\/a><\/span>Beyond Banneker: Resources for Learning about Black Mathematicians
\n<\/a><\/span>Adding to the Faces of Mathematics on Wikipedia
\n<\/a><\/span>What Are You Going to Do with That?<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

And because the Blog on Math Blogs is all about sharing the great things other people are doing in the math blogosphere, here are some of my favorite math blogs I\u2019ve found through my work here. If you don\u2019t have them in your feed yet, do yourself a favor and add them! (I couldn\u2019t just stick to 6, so you get 12 instead. And there are so many other good ones! You should just go through our archives and add everything we\u2019ve mentioned.) In no particular order:<\/span><\/p>\n

Baking and Math
\n<\/a><\/span>Math3ma
\n<\/a><\/span>The Liberated Mathematician
\n<\/a><\/span>Mike\u2019s Math Page
\n<\/a><\/span>Fawn Nguyen\u2019s Finding Ways
\n<\/a><\/span>The Aperiodical
\n<\/a><\/span>Intersections\u2014Poetry with Mathematics
\n<\/a><\/span>The Renaissance Mathematicus
\n<\/a><\/span>Michael Pershan\u2019s many blogs
\n<\/a><\/span>The Accidental Mathematician
\n<\/a><\/span>Stats Chat
\n<\/a><\/span>Mathematical Enchantments<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Fear not! The Blog on Math Blogs will continue to bring you interesting writing from around the math blogosphere with Anna Haensch at the helm. If you\u2019d like to keep up with my writing, I will still be writing the Roots of Unity<\/span><\/a> blog for Scientific American. I\u2019ve also started a monthly email newsletter collecting my writing and other links of interest. You can subscribe here<\/span><\/a>. Thanks to my readers for making my time here fun and worthwhile.<\/span><\/p>\n
