This year I have printed some mathematical advent calendars. Turns out this was more expensive to do than I anticipated. I have a limited number available if any of you would like to buy one? £8 including postage and a couple of extra little surprises.More details: buymeacoffee.com/drbennison/e...

I’m editing for SymmetryPlus, the Mathematical Association’s enrichment magazine for ages 11–18. Looking for short or longer accessible maths articles, puzzles or visual curiosities. We’ll credit you fully and share your handle. Reply or DM if interested! @mathematicala.bsky.social
