The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics expects the demand for math majors to grow by 30% from 2018 to 2028.
Some good information for math majors.
In honor of Math and Stats Awareness Month...

Vertebrates have a vast array of epithelial appendages, including scales, feathers, and hair. The developmental patterning of these diverse structures can be theoretically explained by Alan Turing’s reaction-diffusion system. However, the role of this system in epithelial appendage patterning of early diverging lineages (compared to tetrapods), such as the cartilaginous fishes, is poorly understood. We investigate patterning of the unique tooth-like skin denticles of sharks, which closely relates to their hydrodynamic and protective functions. We demonstrate through simulation models that a Turing-like mechanism can explain shark denticle patterning and verify this system using gene expression analysis and gene pathway inhibition experiments. This mechanism bears remarkable similarity to avian feather patterning, suggesting deep homology of the system. We propose that a diverse range of vertebrate appendages, from shark denticles to avian feathers and mammalian hair, use this ancient and conserved system, with slight genetic modulation accounting for broad variations in patterning.
Using the Reaction-Diffusion Equation to model patterns in animal skin and perhaps now shark scales.

At TED2010, mathematics legend Benoit Mandelbrot develops a theme he first discussed at TED in 1984 -- the extreme complexity of roughness, and the way that fractal math can find order within patterns that seem unknowably complicated.
I was just thinking about Prof Mandelbrot today. If you haven’t seen his 2010 TED talk, you really should (he passed away in Oct 2010).
Knowing approximately how many individuals of a certain species are out there is important for bird conservation efforts, but raw data from bird surveys tends to underestimate bird abundance. Researchers have now tested a new statistical method to adjust for this and confirmed several mathematical tweaks that can produce better population estimates for species of conservation concern.

PBS: Infinite Series (youtube)
This is a really exciting development in mathematics that I hope has some staying power. PBS has introduced a new YouTube series called Infinite Series that seems to be willing to tackle some of the more advanced and current topics in mathematics. The first one, about n-dimensional spheres, is a good effort.
The host is Kelsey Houston-Edwards. She does a pretty good job of explaining a difficult topic. Credit to the producers for attempting to deal with some really challenging ideas.
A beautifully simple play on perspective that you can do in about 5 minutes.
