Hey, has anyone looked at race, gender, and Erdös numbers? I'm assuming women of color are like "yeah, so my Erdös number is 449,481,895."

@aurabogado of course this is only theoretical/mathematical physicists -
@IBJIYONGI right... i wonder how many poc have a number at all tbh -
@aurabogado well there aren't a ton of us theorists in the physics community, so probably not many -
@aurabogado I don't know if experimentalists have an equivalent measure -
@aurabogado but they'd probably object to Erdos being considered important given that it only applies to theorists -
@aurabogado in all honesty, it's not something we use or discuss in the community. -
@IBJIYONGI I've talked to (really taken classes from) math people who *do* mentioned their Erdös number :) -
@aurabogado yeah, the math community is a completely different community with completely different dynamics and demographics - 12 more replies
