Quanta Magazine, the online publication dedicated to mathematics, theoretical physics, computer science, and life science, is home to Abstractions, a blog that explores promising ideas in science and mathematics. For example, one recent post describes new theories about Type 1a supernovae and why they explode. Another recent entry commemorates Marjorie Rice, who died in July 2016 at the age of 94. Rice, who had only taken one mathematics class in high school, discovered four tessellating pentagons that "'tile' the plane, locking together with copies of themselves in endless patterns." Another recent post explores the Human Cell Atlas project and what this atlas may contribute to research about diseases and human behavior. As with the rest of the magazine, Abstractions is a great resource for those interested in keeping up with new theories, conversations, and debates in the mathematics and science communities.
