Comment encourager la diffusion des connaissances et des usages des mathématiques ? Échange entre une mathématicienne sénégalaise engagée et un professeur de maths passionné. Pourquoi les mathématiques ne sont pas réservées à quelques initiés, mais gagnent à être partagées par tous ? Changeons de regard et de perspective sur les mathématiques. Pourquoi tant de haine pour cette discipline qui est d'abord et avant tout une manière de regarder le monde, bien plus universelle, mais aussi poétique et ludique, qu'on ne l'imagine ? Si, comme le pensait Galilée : « le monde est écrit en langage mathématique », il est d'autant plus essentiel aujourd'hui, où les maths sont partout à l'œuvre dans nos sociétés numériques, de partager ces savoirs et de favoriser la libre circulation des idées et des applications, mais aussi des chercheurs et des chercheuses qui les développent de toutes les manières possibles sur tous les continents... Avec - Yan Pradeau (professeur de maths au Lycée Arago à Paris) pour son livre Les maths sont un tango à trois temps, paru chez Flammarion - Sophie Dabo-Niang, professeure de mathématiques appliquées à l'Université de Lille et chercheuse au Centre Inria de Lille pour le projet de coopération CNRS-Afrique, avec le lancement du Joint research Programmes en mathématiques.

Story Transcript:Da: Vandet i kanalen glitrede svagt i forårssolen.En: The water in the canal glimmered faintly in the spring sun.Da: De farverige bygninger langs Københavns havnefront stod klare og smukke, men Sofie kunne ikke nyde udsigten.En: The colorful buildings along Københavns waterfront stood clear and beautiful, but Sofie couldn't enjoy the view.Da: Hun stod ved rælingen, hendes tanker et virvar af bekymringer.En: She stood by the railing, her thoughts a jumble of worries.Da: Den nylige diagnose havde overvældet hende.En: The recent diagnosis had overwhelmed her.Da: Kronisk, sagde

Written by Will LochamyPlayed by Reed Lochamy and Greg YaghmaiFor most rounds, there are three questions, and you rank your answers, assigning point values of 5, 3, and 1 each round, depending on your level of confidence. The one you feel best about is your 5-point answer, the one you're just guessing on is your 1-point answer. (For any rounds where the points don't work this way, we'll discuss that during the game.)If you feel certain that you know the answer to all three questions in a typical round, then instead of assigning points of 5, 3 and 1, you can go for 11 points. If you do that and you answer all three questions correctly, you get 11 points (instead of 9). However, if you do that and you miss just one question, you get a 0 for the round.The bonus round question has five possible answers. You get 3 points for every correct answer you submit. Like with going for 11 in typical rounds, though, you can choose to go for 20 in the bonus round (but doing so is risky in the same way that going for 11 in typical rounds is).Have questions about the game or how it works? Please feel free to email those to will@bhammountainradio.com

What does a 40-year career in private service really look like?In this episode of Life in Private Staffing, Philippa is joined by Steven — an industry professional whose career spans decades, continents, and some of the most prestigious private households in the world.From his early days in the Royal Navy, Steven shares how discipline, structure and opportunity led him into private service — landing roles working with royalty, UHNW families, and global principals across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond.Having worked across five continents in roles ranging from butlering and house management to palace operations and staff training, Steven offers a rare, honest insight into how the industry has evolved — and what it really takes to succeed at the highest level today.They discuss everything from travelling the world with UHNW families, managing large-scale private households, and working within royal environments — to the modern reality of smaller teams, faster-paced roles, and changing expectations in luxury service.In this episode, Philippa and Steven cover:
In the latest episode of our spring 2026 season of The Publisher Podcast, we're joined by Ismail Akwei, Editor of Global South World. Global South World is a news brand with a mission to build a more informed and nuanced understanding of the Global South, counteracting parachute journalism and condescension with news and opinion from a network of journalists and creators that actually live across Asia, Africa and South America. Akwei talks about commentary from Western leaders about countries in the Global South, and the issues with minimising whole continents to one negative news story. He also discussed what works well for content distribution, data visualisation, and building active communities, as well as how their creator-led news network approach works in practice.

It's wild to think about, but the continents haven't sunk into lava because of how Earth's crust works. The crust, which includes the continents, is like a giant jigsaw puzzle of solid plates floating on a gooey layer called the mantle. Even though the mantle is hot and partly molten, it's dense enough to keep the crust floating instead of letting it sink. Plus, continents are made of lighter, less dense rock compared to the heavier ocean floors, so they naturally stay on top. Earth's tectonic plates might shift and collide, but they're surprisingly sturdy over millions of years. So, while there's plenty of molten rock beneath us, the continents are safe from sinking anytime soon! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Chaque jour, chaque semaine, des dizaines de livres nouveaux sont publiés… L'actualité s'impose, chasse l'un pour mettre en avant un autre, mais soudain un livre plus ancien refait surface et revient à la Une. C'est le cas du second roman d'Alexandre Lenot, Cette vieille chanson qui brûle, qui vient de remporter le Prix des cinq continents de la francophonie. L'écrivain Alexandre Lenot vient nous présenter Cette vieille chanson qui brûle, roman couronné par le Prix des cinq continents de la francophonie. Une œuvre traversée par la mémoire, la colère et la nécessité de dire. Encore peu connu du grand public en France, ce prix international, décerné exclusivement par des écrivains et écrivaines issus de toute la francophonie, distingue avant tout une exigence stylistique. « J'ai conçu un objet très littéraire. D'être reconnu pour ça m'a fait immensément plaisir », confie l'auteur. Né aux États-Unis, d'une mère égyptienne, vivant aujourd'hui à Paris tout en s'échappant régulièrement dans le Cantal, Alexandre Lenot revendique un parcours profondément francophone et multiculturel. Une histoire de frères et de fantômes Cette vieille chanson qui brûle est l'histoire de deux frères jumeaux, d'une mère absente, d'un père violent, et d'une forêt menacée par les appétits capitalistes et de l'enfance qu'il faut quitter, qu'il faut bien quitter un jour... L'un des frères est mort – on l'apprend dès les premières pages –, mais il faudra attendre la fin du roman pour comprendre comment et pourquoi. Entre-temps, le narrateur marche, revient vers la demeure paternelle nichée au cœur de la forêt, tandis que les souvenirs affluent : la peur, la colère, la douleur d'une enfance privée de mots. Le roman devient alors une enquête intime, où le narrateur revisite ses souvenirs un à un. Une forêt politique La forêt occupe une place majeure dans le roman. Loin d'un décor bucolique, elle est à la fois refuge, mémoire et enjeu contemporain. Cette forêt, précise l'auteur, est celle d'aujourd'hui : une forêt qui brûle, qui manque d'eau, qui est convoitée par des logiques productivistes et extractivistes. Le roman fait écho à la mort de Rémi Fraisse, jeune militant écologiste tué en 2014 lors du projet de barrage de Sivens. Alexandre Lenot reconnaît cette inspiration. Ce qui l'a bouleversé, dit-il, au-delà de la mort elle-même, c'est la violence du langage politique, capable de retourner la victime en coupable. Invité : Alexandre Lenot, romancier et scénariste, auteur de Cette vieille chanson qui brûle, publié aux éditions Denoël. Et la Chronique Ailleurs avec Mahi Binebine, président de Festival du livre africain de Marrakech, le FLAM. La 4è édition se tiendra du 23 au 26 avril 2026 sous la présidence d'honneur de Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio. Musique : Lolo Zouaï & Disiz – « Coquelicot ».

First up this week, we welcome back to the program journalist José Luis Granados Ceja to talk about the Greater America plan, and Operation Total Extermination, the latest US policy initiatives for Latin America. José Luis highlights media complicity in framing US relations with the Global South, how Mexico and its allies in the region are responding to these military threats and how the war in Iran is affecting this political landscape. Next up, journalist and organizer Edith Romero talks about corporate colonialism in Honduras, and how the likes of Peter Thiel are piggy-backing on decades of imperialist extraction to create their own sovereign nations not subject to any Honduran oversight or accountability, and how this connects to the oppressive surveillance and anti-human eugenicist manifestations of AI here in the US and globally. José Luis Granados Ceja is an experienced journalist based in Mexico City, co-host of the Canal Once public affairs television program Sin Muros, as well as Soberana: The Mexican Politics Podcast. He covers Latin America for DropSite News, and has worked as a writer, editor, photographer, correspondent, radio host, TV producer, and as on-camera analyst, with a particular focus on social movements and labor unions throughout Latin America. Edith Romero is a Honduran community organizer, researcher, writer, and a Public Voices fellow of The Op-ed Project, The National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice, and the Every Page Foundation. The News That Didn't Make the News. Each week, co-hosts Mickey Huff and Eleanor Goldfield conduct in depth interviews with their guests and offer hard hitting commentary on the key political, social, and economic issues of the day with an emphasis on critical media literacy.

What if completing your family meant traveling across continents — and healing generations along the way?In this episode of The Sacred Travel Podcast, I'm joined by Joanna Ingram to explore generational healing, surrogacy, and the sacred geography that guided her across 11,000 miles to complete her family.From England to California's expansive landscape and a profound life-and-death threshold, we explore how travel becomes a living initiation into surrender, embodiment, and ancestral healing.What You'll Walk Away With:
Wondering where your next global mobility move could take you?Mona sits down with Frank Cheang of Elysium 8 Holdings, a firm describing itself as more than a brokerage but a strategic gateway. They discuss three countries: Japan, Portugal, and Greece, including where investors are going wrong.Our discussion begins with Japanese real estate, and the numbers alone are worth listening to. Foreign investors are claiming mortgage rates of 3-5%, whilst citizens can borrow at 1% with 100% LTV. Almost 250 episodes into Global Investment Voice, and we are only just landing in Japan… We should have booked this trip sooner.From there, we move on to the better-known programs along the Mediterranean, with benefits that are harder to put a price on. Freedom to move, work, and outstanding education options. Portugal's Golden Visa has raised over six billion euros and offers the fastest route to citizenship in Europe, five years. Whilst Greece takes seven years, they have zero minimum stay requirements, excellent for global investors.Japan, Portugal, and Greece all have something different to offer, whether you're a seasoned investor diversifying or a family weighing up your long-term options. This episode brings all three together to make your choice easier.

Steve Spears has spent over two decades uncovering a profound truth: the 1980s are not really about the music, movies, or fashion—they are about who we were when we first encountered them. Through more than 760 episodes of his work, Spears has interviewed hundreds of artists and personalities who helped define the decade. His approach to these conversations reveals something essential about human connection: when we remove the pressure to promote or defend past work, people become willing to share not just what they did, but why they did it, what they learned from it, and how it transformed them. What makes Steve's guests so compelling is their willingness to reflect on their legacies with genuine honesty and vulnerability. These artists have moved beyond the need for external validation and instead offer wisdom about persistence, connection, and what it truly means to create something that endures. Their stories reveal universal human experiences: the desire to belong, the fear of being left behind, the pain of loss, and the possibility of redemption. When these iconic figures share their personal narratives, they transform from celebrities into genuine human beings whose journeys illuminate what it means to build something meaningful over decades while maintaining authenticity and integrity. For anyone seeking to understand how pop culture shapes our lives and how we can build lasting creative work, Steve Spears has just released his new book Stuck in the '80s: 20 Years of Conversations with Pop Culture Icons Who Defined a Decade and is still on sale. This collection brings together the most impactful interviews and stories from his extensive archive, offering readers direct access to the wisdom and reflections of the artists who created the soundtrack and visual language of an entire generation. To explore his podcast and discover deeper insights about creativity, legacy, and human connection, visit sit80s.com to learn more about his podcast and the ongoing journey of authentic storytelling that continues to resonate with audiences worldwide.

How did the same dinosaur footprints appear thousands of miles apart—on completely different continents?
Did you know that Earth used to have continents that no longer exist today? Millions of years ago, there were massive landmasses that have since disappeared, either sinking beneath the ocean or breaking apart to form new continents. One of these lost continents is called Zealandia, most of which is now submerged under the Pacific Ocean! There's also a famous one called Gondwana, which eventually split into Africa, South America, Australia, and Antarctica. These changes happen because of plate tectonics, where Earth's crust moves over time. It's like a giant puzzle that keeps shifting, and we're still discovering pieces of this ancient history!

But at its core, Shared Studios is a network of people: trained facilitators and community members around the globe — from community activists to UN officials — brought together to create meaningful educational connections. Programming can be delivered through the immersive portal environment or via video conferencing.Key Topics DiscussedWhy immersive portals go beyond video conferencing Brandon explains that 65–75% of a message's meaning is communicated nonverbally. While video conferencing restored face-to-face visibility, it also introduced "Zoom fatigue" — the tendency to monitor how we appear to be connecting rather than actually connecting. The portal creates full-body presence and a sense of accountability to your conversational partner, which is essential for building genuine empathy.The origin story of Shared Studios Founder Amar Bakshi originally built the portal concept to help his grandmother feel connected to her native Pakistan — imagining her sharing a chai in a café. The first portals debuted at a New York art gallery and in Tehran, Iran, where the profound emotional responses (women dancing freely behind closed doors, a young man coming out) revealed the technology's transformative potential.How Ross uses the portal at Winnacunnet High School Ross has built years of relationships with curators in Mexico City, Kigali, and other sites. Students recognize facilitators by name, ask about their lives, and engage in deeply personal conversations — including discussions about the Rwandan genocide with survivors and their families, a topic directly tied to New Hampshire's state curriculum standards.The role of the facilitator On-site facilitators like Ross help students acclimate to the unique, distraction-free environment of the portal. The shared studios curators on the other end are trained to handle sensitive or culturally awkward moments as teachable opportunities rather than offenses — creating a space where students can "trip up" and grow.Reaching reluctant learners Rather than leading with heavy topics, Brandon and Ross recommend starting with common ground — video games, food, music, daily life. A memorable example: skeptical Arizona State students connected with young men in Herat, Afghanistan over football and video games, and ended up in a 45-minute conversation about U.S.-Afghan relations.Preparing students for cross-cultural conversations Shared Studios uses "shared understandings" drawn from the Mejlis style of dialogue — an approach rooted in Arab cultures emphasizing equity in speaking time, active listening, and respectful engagement. Brandon also discusses the importance of teaching students the difference between cultural relativism and universalism before entering conversations.Why distance learning matters Both guests emphasize that the problems facing the next generation — climate change, refugee crises, global poverty, genocide — are deeply interconnected and cannot be solved by any one nation or culture. Distance learning, especially in immersive forms, is how we build the global citizens equipped to meet those challenges together.Quotable Moments"Video conferencing has been really great for connecting us. It has not been so good at creating connection between us." — Dr. Brandon Ferderer"I've never walked away from a connection being like, 'Well, that didn't go well.' There's always a nugget." — Ross Phillips"We have to find ways to put young people into conversation with people who are different than them... distance learning is the way that we do that." — Dr. Brandon FerdererResources & LinksShared StudiosWinnacunnet High SchoolFind all episode links and visuals at cilc.org/podcastHost links:Discover more virtual learning opportunities at CILC.org with hosts Tami Moehring and Allyson Mitchell.Seth Fleischauer's Banyan Global Learning combines live virtual field trips with international student collaborations for a unique K12 global learning experience.

Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: In Texas, Sean enlisted an entire preschool class to surprise his fiancée Zoey with a bridal shower; the couple had attended the school at age four and reconnected at a 2021 summer camp. New research from Newcastle University suggests a single 10-minute high-intensity cycling session can quickly change blood molecules, increasing 13 proteins including one tied to DNA repair, potentially helping suppress cancer growth in overweight but otherwise healthy adults aged 50–78. In England, Mark and Carol spent three decades and tens of thousands restoring a closed 1950 train station into “The Old Station,” now open for visits and overnight stays. In the Mediterranean, Cyprus is fighting invasive lionfish by serving it in restaurants. British veteran Hari became the first above-the-knee double amputee to climb the highest mountain on every continent.John also hosts Daily Comedy NewsUnlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

Bright geometric shapes make the graffiti work of Kenyan artist Wise Two really stand out. Michael Kaloki tracks how his bold style is evolving as he travels to Mexico where. he says, street art is more widely accepted than in Nairobi, a city where he tends to paint murals in densely populated districts like Kibera and Jericho. On this trip to Mexico, Wise Two has started using a more varied colour palette and not just the traditional primary colours of Maasai masks he was known for. He is also using gold leaf on smaller canvases and abstract shapes on a tricky commission to paint cylindrical air-conditioning vents, not the usual flat surface which graffiti artists decorate. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from In the Studio, exploring the processes of the world's most creative people.

Britain is the latest country to be plunged into yet another espionage scandal after an MP’s husband was arrested on suspicion of spying for China. Beijing’s long been known for its ‘thousand grains of sand’ strategy relying on amateur intelligence collectors, but it’s now increasingly employing cognitive warfare to shape public opinion. This month, we analyse changes to China’s spying ground game on three continents. Louisa is joined by former Australian diplomat Sam Guthrie who’s the author of The Peak, a spy thriller set in Australia and China, national security expert Dennis Molinaro, the author of Under Assault: Interference and Espionage in China's Secret War Against Canada, and human rights activist Lyndon Lee, who has been targeted by Chinese agents in the UK.

What do the Canadian Shield, a fourth-generation family business, and a trade show floor in Germany have in common? Wild rice — and one of the most remarkable food origin stories you've never heard. In this episode of This Commerce Life, Phil Chang and Kenny Vannucci sit down with Matt Ratuski, fourth-generation owner of Floating Leaf Fine Foods, whose family has been harvesting Canadian wild rice since 1935. From his great-grandfather trading fish with First Nations communities in Keewatin, Ontario, to building one of Canada's first wild rice processing facilities, Matt's story is equal parts frontier history and modern food entrepreneurship. We dig into how Canadian wild rice is still harvested the old-fashioned way — in remote rivers, streams, and bogs across northern Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Ontario — and why that makes it fundamentally different from the cultivated rice grown in the U.S. We also cover the deep, multi-generational relationships with First Nations harvesters, the wild crop's two-to-three-week harvest window, and why Europe discovered this superfood long before Canadians did. Plus: why innovation in food always requires education, what it takes to build a Canadian food brand with global reach, and why Phil is about to start cooking wild rice on camera. check out Floating Leaf here: https://eatwildrice.ca/

In a first in-studio Dear Dyslexic Podcast interview, the host chats with Dr. Kim Percy and UK-based Dr. Helen Ross about dyslexia and broader neurodivergence in adulthood, focusing on transition points from school to university or work. Helen, in Australia on a Churchill Fellowship, describes how lack of clear, accessible support and long assessment waitlists can leave people—especially girls—unraveling during major transitions, and she explores Australian practices (including TAFE flexibility) to bring ideas back to the UK. Kim shares a parent and lecturer perspective, describing students and her own son falling through cracks due to missed emails, fees, system lockouts, and barriers to diagnosis and learning plans. They discuss the importance of “village” support networks, self-worth, and shifting assessments from deficits to strengths, noting ongoing misconceptions about intelligence and dyslexia.

SECRETS OF ANTARCTICA — Lost Continents, Giants, Nazis, UFOs & Black Goo - Brad Olsen - TSP #2481
One year ago, I sat with Eneko Elosegui at a restaurant overlooking the ocean near his home in St Jean De Luz, a Basque seaport famous for jai alai, artisan patisseries, and being one of the oldest whaling ports in Europe. Today's meeting was less picturesque; instead, carried out remotely on a generic conferencing platform. But the subject matter was lively and somehow more inspiring than a plate of Poulet Basquaise and a view of the Atlantic. How? Well, announcing that you have 5 surf park projects in the works and shovels in the ground is a huge deal. In this podcast, Eneko shares how being raised in the family development business, becoming an engineer, working at Wavegarden and surfing, have all merged together into his current role to take on the world of wave pools.
You can find Dr. McCoy's book here: https://www.haymarketbooks.org/.../2631-cold-war-on-five... Transforming battlegrounds in Africa, Asia, and Latin America into veritable hellscapes, the surrogate wars of the Cold War era left behind a legacy of collective trauma and social conflict that have persisted into the present. In this ambitious work, Alfred W. McCoy uses a bottom-up, outside-in approach to offer an unexpected new perspective on the longest, most consequential conflict in modern history. McCoy renders an intimate portrait of both embattled covert operatives and committed antiwar protesters, thus humanizing the history of the Cold War—a history that has too often been told in impersonal terms of economic growth, nuclear arsenals, or diplomatic ententes. As today's great powers devote humanity's scarce resources toward ratcheting up a “new cold war” in the face of a worsening climate crisis, McCoy's history is an important reminder that otherwise- ordinary individuals once helped end a global conflict that threatened nuclear holocaust.

Dr. Alfred McCoy provides a sweeping historical analysis of the Cold War, focusing on how individual covert operatives (“men on the spot”) shaped world events. McCoy explains how his early work on the CIA's role in heroin trafficking during the Vietnam War evolved into a broader study of covert operations and their impact on world history. He characterizes the era as a golden age of intelligence, where the threat of nuclear catastrophe forced superpowers to compete through indirect, clandestine operations. McCoy describes his personal experiences with CIA surveillance and his research into the global drug trade, illustrating how the agency penetrated American civil society and media. He argues that the geopolitical strategies developed during this period, particularly the containment of Eurasia, remain central to understanding modern power dynamics. Finally, the discussion explores the decline of American hegemony, contrasting past interventionist models with current shifts toward a multi-polar world order, noting how historical tactics of surveillance and control are increasingly being applied within the domestic United States.

At 21 years old, Alex Hashash was managing 15 people and 18,000 hours of temporary nurses every single week.By his early thirties, he had 120 staff. Most of them offshore.But it didn't start with a playbook. It started with 3 am phone calls, traumatic Blackberry ringtones, and weekend rotas that never seemed to end.When his company decided to build an offshore capability, Alex didn't manage it from a distance.He moved to India for eight months to build the team from scratch.Night shifts. Culture clashes. Teaching people who'd never worked in recruitment how to fill nursing shifts at 2 am UK time.He's spent over a decade learning what separates the founders who make offshore work from those who give up after six months.Most treat it like a cost-cutting exercise. They hire one remote person, hope for the best, and blame the model when it fails.Alex took the opposite approach."If someone makes a mistake, it's really easy to blame them because they're so far away. But if that was a colleague on your desk, would you be as harsh?"The problem isn't the talent. It's the leadership.This week on The RAG Podcast, Alex tells the full story.We cover:Why most recruitment founders fail at offshore within six months How to build culture when your team is thousands of miles away The biggest mistake UK consultants make when managing offshore staff Why hiring people without recruitment experience often delivers the best ROI How to structure probation and promotional targets for offshore hires The leadership buy-in you need before going offshore How he scaled to 120 staff with the majority based offshoreThis isn't theory. It's a decade of hard-won experience across three continents.If you've ever wondered whether offshore could work for your agency - or why your previous attempt failed - this episode has the blueprint.--------------------------------------------------------------------Episode Sponsor: AtlasAdmin is a massive waste of time.

First up on the podcast, the best images of exoplanets right now are basically bright dots. We can't see possible continents, potential oceans, or even varying colors. To improve our view, scientists are proposing a faraway fleet of telescopes that would use light bent by the Sun's gravity to magnify a distant exoplanet. Staff Writer Daniel Clery joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss where to aim such a magnificent telescope and all the technological pieces needed to put it together. Next on the show, expert voices columnist and Johns Hopkins University mathematician Emily Riehl discusses her recent essay on communication woes in the math community. The complex concepts, jargon, and the slow pace of understanding a proof all add up to siloed subdisciplines and potentially more errors in the literature. Alex Kontorovich, a professor in the math department at Rutgers University, also joins to discuss how proof assistant computer programs and machine learning could help get mathematicians all on the same page.
