We have all been in conversations where a friend, colleague or boss makes an off-handed or stereotypical comment. Such comments can be hurtful and make for a non-inclusive learning or working environment. We might let the comment slide because we want to move on and don’t want to make the speaker defensive. However, by not speaking up, we silently convey that such comments are OK with us and we help to normalize them.

In its modern incarnation, computational mathematics is a discipline that blossomed only after WWII. But even in its relatively brief history, there have been some major shifts in its methodology, emphasis, and applications.
The University of Waterloo’s Centre for Theoretical Neuroscience supports the development of robust explanatory theories of mind and brain through education and research.
