So can you share with our audience a little bit, what did you say that went outside the norm of this research talk, and, and why did you feel it necessary, or why, why were you motivated to go beyond the tradition?

Yeah.

So I strongly feel that research is not just about doing research in your silo, but it's also about communicating your research and sharing ideas and working with others and learning from others, and that doesn't happen enough in our community.

And so this was an opportunity for me to make a case that we need to communicate more, and that that is one of the issues facing our, uh, one of the challenges facing our community.

So, so I believe there's huge numbers of challenges facing mathematicians, and those challenges are ramping up.

They come from, um, tightening r- budgets.

You know, resources are becoming scarcer and scarcer.

Can we expand on that? Why do you think some fields are doing better than others in this regard?
