What if I told you that the number seven moves? And what if I told you that the future of mathematics doesn't just depend on brilliant theorems, but whether mathematicians are willing to step out of silence? Today, we're joined by Dr. Bryna Croth, a professor of mathematics at Northwestern University and former president of the American Mathematical Society. But before we start today's episode, we just have to know that Bryna's opinions are her own and do not reflect any organizations she's associated with. So on that note, I'm Autumn Phaneuf.
