Today is Alan Turing’s birthday, and I felt that I should write something to honor it. Unfortunately, I haven’t been much in the writing mood. So this is me writing in the moment. This is actually a piece that I wrote earlier but I’ve edited with new text. I felt like I didn’t do a good job explaining some things.

I’m the writer with a mathematical muse. I love words, numbers, dreaming big & helping others. I believe that whatever you imagine, you can become. They/Them.
I don’t know exactly why I tread so carefully about talking about my love of mathematics. I think it comes down to three things:

I was always interested in mathematics and science from a young age. I really didn’t see anyone like me though. Women are under represented. There are still a lot of gate keepers that prevent and discourage women from pursuing STEM fields. There is still harassment and obstacles for those who do pursue degrees and those who pursue Phds.

This is because things like seeds and petals tend to be Fibonacci numbers. This phenomenon was studied by Alan Turing. A property of them is that when you divide two consecutive Fibonacci numbers you get an approximation of the Golden Ratio.
