Efua has one dream; to make it out of Gedu village as an accomplished author. Through a rare opportunity afforded by her school, Gedu Junior Secondary School, Efua begins on a journey to achieve her dreams. On the road to success, she encounters many obstacles that seem insurmountable: lack of support from an important family member, a broken friendship, and cruelty at the hands of a virtual stranger. Her faith in God pushes her to dream big. But when trials and tribulations hit, will Efuas faith stand the test of time? Will she survive? Can she keep her dream alive? Will God grow silent or respond to the earnest prayers of a 15 year old girl who is on the verge of losing all hope? In Dear Lord Love, Efua! Amazing Grace Lois Danso, author of Bound By Kente, tells an unforgettable, touching tale of the love, faith, and hope of a young girl determined to achieve her dreams in a city that is a melting pot of hospitality and cruelty, dreams and reality, opportunities and disappointments, success and failures.

Joint work with Ailsa Keating (Cambridge). We prove the homological mirror symmetry conjecture of Kontsevich for K3 surfaces in the following form: The Fukaya category of a projective K3 surface is equivalent to the derived category of coherent sheaves on the mirror, which is a K3 surface of Picard rank 19 over the field of formal Laurent series. This builds on prior work of Seidel (who proved the theorem in the case of the quartic surface), Sheridan, Lekili--Ueda, and Ganatra--Pardon--Shende.

I will try to keep prerequisites to a minimum, in particular, I will not assume prior knowledge of the Fukaya category.

People come from all over the world to work in U.S. tech. And during the tech boom years, the industry relied heavily on foreign workers. This is how we built Silicon Valley – with great minds coming from everywhere to work in the U.S.

But when the industry started to shrink, all of these people who moved here for work are finding that linking their jobs to their residency is really complicated. That was the case for Aashka and Nilanjan. Aashka was a product engineer at Amazon, and Nilanjan worked in digital advertising for Google. They both lost their jobs in the layoffs each company announced earlier this year.

When Aashka and Nilanjan got the news, a clock started ticking. Because they are both H-1B recipients, they only have 60 days to find new jobs before they risk being sent home. And they can't get just any job – they need new employers in their field willing to sponsor their visa.

On today's show, we followed two tech workers as they tried to find jobs before their visas expired, and what they went through as H-1B recipients trying to stay in the country.

This episode was hosted by Alyssa Jeong Perry and Amanda Aronczyk, produced by Sam Yellowhorse Kesler, engineered by James Willetts, fact-checked by Sierra Juarez, and edited by Molly Messick and Jess Jiang.

For almost fifty years, people have been gathering in Charlottesville, Virginia to achieve something that seems impossible: world peace. And despite the fact these people are kids, they're pretty successful. Schoolteacher John Hunter invented The World Peace Game as a way to teach messy geopolitical realities. He never could have anticipated what his students ended up teaching him— or that the game would bring him face-to-face with the heights of real-world power.
