Have you always dreamed of designing the cover of a popular mathematics magazine? Or sprucing up content for the inside of the magazine? Or raising sponsorship to help Chalkdust continue to grow? Or pretending to be a pun-loving dead mathematician?
At Chalkdust, we are always looking for new volunteers to join us in doing all these things. Whether you are skilled at image editing, TeΧ typesetting, proofreading, organising events, writing not too bad jokes or deciding what’s hot and what’s not, there is a place for you at Chalkdust.

Issue 21 team
TD is an undergraduate at UCL who actually understands the 1967 James Bond spoof
Casino Royale, starring David Niven, Peter Sellers, Woody Allen, and Orson Welles as
Le Chiffre.
Madeleine Hall is a mathematical consultant at the Smith Institute, based in Oxford. She likes writing, open water swimming, the Oxford comma, and tHiS mEmE. Her PhD research was on optimal swimming for microorganisms. She has found none of her results of any use in the lido.
Ellen is a PhD student at UCL studying fluid mechanics. She specialises in the flow around droplets and ice particles.
Sophie Maclean is a recent maths graduate from the University of Cambridge and very much misses her degree. She has no free time—she is a Chalkdust editor.
Ashleigh is a PhD student and graduate teaching assistant at the University of Leicester. Her main mathematical interests are in number theory. She is passionate about outreach and inclusion in mathematics, volunteers as a STEM ambassador and is a representative for the Piscopia Initiative.
Calum is a lecturer in physics at Edge Hill University where he studies topological solitons and enjoys talking about maths and physics to anyone who will listen. He can often be found on the side of a mountain or out on a bike, talking to himself about solitons.
Matthew is a research software engineer (RSE) in the Advanced Research Computing Centre (ARC) at University College London (UCL). His hobbies include pretending to be called Humbug (H).
Belgin is mathematician-turned-software engineer, having got her PhD in population genetics. When not working, you can usually find Belgin either playing the piano or playing
Math Blaster. She is pictured here standing next to her copy of Zeeman’s catastrophe machine.
Clare (like gare) is a Chalkdust editor. In her spare time, she’s an assistant professor at Durham University. She likes Skittles, probability, and making the magazine look more like Cosmo.
