| Jun 1, 2021 at 22:11 | comment | added | André Henriques | @FedericoPoloni I feel strongly that everybody should be able to share with the community on this topic. For example, after I became aware of Joel Rosenfeld's video about SpatialChat (I learned about it in the reddit post of AngelTC), I contacted Joel by email, told him that I really liked what I had learned in his video, and asked him whether he'd be willing to post an answer to my post describing his experience. His answer: "I tried to post an answer to the thread, but I guess I’m not active enough". Someone had protected the question, thus preventing him from sharing his experience... :-/ | |

| May 31, 2021 at 17:07 | comment | added | André Henriques | @MartinBrandenburg Thank you Martin. It was quite tough being on the receiving end of this unrelenting stream of negative feedback. (It left my stomach pretty upset for a day or two.) I'm happy that, despite all the closures, people were able to submit this nice collection of informative answers. | |

| May 31, 2021 at 13:31 | comment | added | Martin Brandenburg | I really wonder about these theoretical open-close-discussions. Have a look at the answers so far. They are very useful and interesting, not just to mathematicians but to everyone who is interested how mathematics is changing right now. It is a (so far) unique point in history, and here professional mathematicians document what is changing in their area. I think it's great. | |

| May 30, 2021 at 14:36 | comment | added | Yemon Choi | I have not voted to close, nor to reopen, but I think one problem is that "the mathematical ecosystem" looks pretty different in different parts of the world, and some might even say that the Golden Triangle in England has its own ecosystem which is pretty damn different from the rest of England (I can't speak for Scotland) when it comes to teaching, grant-hunting, leverage+profile, demands, etc | |

| May 28, 2021 at 16:28 | comment | added | user44143 | I agree with the closure: there's not enough specific to research mathematics here -- and asking about "the lives of math undergrads" is outside the scope of MathOverflow. | |

| May 28, 2021 at 15:29 | comment | added | André Henriques | @RayButterworth. I understand your feelings: I removed "social justice" (I kept "climate change" though). | |
| May 28, 2021 at 15:11 | comment | added | André Henriques | @FrancescoPolizzi "A single return flight from London to New York contributes to almost a quarter of an average UK citizen’s annual carbon emissions": tinyurl.com/yce7aud5 (internet usage is not discussed in the linked article – that very fact is probably an indication that its impact on the climate is significantly smaller) | |

| May 28, 2021 at 14:52 | comment | added | Francesco Polizzi | Well, the usage of the Internet also has an impact on the climate. Are there any studies comparing the difference between the emissions caused by the traveling and the emissions caused by the "smart working"? | |

| May 28, 2021 at 11:23 | comment | added | Federico Poloni | This seems both too broad and subjective and argumentative, unfortunately. "Please discuss" questions usually are not a good fit on a platform like MO. Even though I find the question interesting, I don't think this is the right place for it. | |
| May 28, 2021 at 10:34 | comment | added | მამუკა ჯიბლაძე | I did not downvote but would be happier if the question would pinpoint issues specific to research mathematics per se. | |
