My 2020 thread of thanks and blessings.

Let us celebrate the jurisdictions that cared about their people and did everything they could to protect them. It is no doubt a hard fight, victory is not to be taken for granted. Each one faced unique challenges.

26/

Among them are: China, Mongolia, Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Hong Kong, Iceland, New Zealand, Australia, and Atlantic Canada. Much of Africa is to be lauded. A more complete story is to be told.

And many thanks to all of my twitter colleagues and friends.

Thank you to my life partner, and to my father who I can never anticipate, and my mother, may her memory be a blessing.

A dedication to my student Eric Rauch, whose original work was the beginning.

May we reach a time of peace so that we can recover before the next challenge comes. I hope to go back to my favorite obscure equations.
