Natalie Portman, recent screen-nudity cherry-popper and passionate advocate for debt-forgivers' rights, will guest edit an upcoming issue of Scholastic Math. From her editor's letter: "Math was one of my favorite subjects at school. It always gets a bad rap and I'm not sure why... Sure you need to use math daily for knowing how much tip to leave at a restaurant or how much flour you need to make double the amount of cookies in a recipe, but it is the less obvious practical parts of math that are most fun for me - like considering the principles of infinity. It made me excited about life to consider the limitlessness of the mind and what we can do with it." [Starpulse]
