Jenny Quinn

Dr. Jenny Quinn is an award-winning teacher, author, and scholar, who has made significant strides in making mathematics accessible and appreciated. She served as the President of the Mathematical Association of America in 2021 and 2022, and currently, she is the Executive Director of the Seattle Universal Math Museum. This role perfectly aligns with her desire to infuse creativity, passion, and humanity into the perception of mathematics.

In the realm of Sci Art, Jenny is known for her Lux Art collaboration with husband Dr. Mark Martin, painting with bioluminescent bacteria on agar plates. Mathematically, her favorite symmetry group is p3 (with three rotation centers of order three but no reflections or glide reflections) because it generates Escher-like tessellations that directly convert to well-aligned hexaflexagons—and she loves to tell stories with flexagons.
