Statement by the African Mathematical Union: https://www.afrimath.math.cnrs.fr/sites/default/files/2026-07/Letter_Lettre%20UMI_sent.pdf "nearly two hundred (200) young African mathematicians holding academic positions at African universities were awarded generous travel grants provided by the Simons Foundation. Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of them will be unable to attend this major international scientific event, the principal reason being their inability to obtain entry visas to the United States." #ICM2026 #ICM

@pigworker it seems companies reduced the number of junior programmers? instead hiring senior programmers that use AI https://medium.com/@ravishkarathnayaka.v/the-end-of-the-junior-developer-how-ai-copilots-reshape-hiring-c4dee61d4a26 Would something similar happen to applied mathematicians?

@wim_v12e @pigworker I know, so I worry about we mathematicians, specially those that do not have a fix job.
