University of Chicago grad student Kathryn Mann spotted this possibly-sexist flyer handed out by the AMS at a recent event:

The beautiful stock photo men are all doing pure maths, and the beautiful stock photo women are all doing applied! Heinous!

A hemi-demi-semi-meme developed in response, started by geometric group theorist Tullia Dymarz, with mathematicians sticking speech bubbles on top of photos of themselves, describing the fields they work in.

I doubt anyone has ever said “Teichmüller theory!” with such relish.

You can see all the photos on Kathryn’s webpage, and she says she’d like to receive more.
