What does alternative grading look like when your class has 300 students—and what happens when generative AI forces you to rethink a system that had been working? In this episode, Sharona and Boz are joined by Jordan Kostiuk, Associate Teaching Professor of Mathematics at Brown University, to talk about his use of team-based inquiry learning and mastery-based grading in a large, coordinated linear algebra course. Jordan shares how a course organized around six sections, a team of graduate students, postdocs, and undergraduate TAs, and structured opportunities to demonstrate fluency made alternative grading possible at a scale that can seem daunting. The conversation also explores Jordan's newest course redesign, prompted in part by the changing AI landscape, including moving fluency assessments back into a synchronous environment while introducing a portfolio designed to capture problem solving, mathematical communication, feedback, revision, and reflection.LinksPlease note - any books linked here are likely Amazon Associates links.

George Boghos, CEO of Imagine Pediatrics, is on a mission to change that. As a two-time founder with deep roots in pediatric care and healthcare investing, George brings both operational grit and genuine passion to this challenge. Under his leadership, Imagine Pediatrics has grown to serve more than 78,000 children across eight states, delivering 24/7 virtual and in-home medical, behavioral, and social care through value-based partnerships. Join us to discover how this pioneering model is keeping kids out of the hospital, building caregiver confidence, and proving that aligning incentives around outcomes transforms lives.Let's go!Episode Highlights:Imagine Pediatrics serves 78,000 children with special needs, delivering 24/7 virtual and in-home integrated care.George's mother, a retiring pediatrician, sparked his lifelong passion for reimagining pediatric healthcare from childhood.Just 20% of children with special needs account for over 50% of all pediatric healthcare spending nationally.In year one, Imagine Pediatrics saved $65 million in total cost of care across two health plan partnerships.With an NPS above 87, Imagine Pediatrics builds family trust by asking caregivers simply, "What keeps you up at night?About our Guest: Mr. Boghos manages overall operations and sets strategic direction for Imagine Pediatrics. He also leads the Impact arm of our organization, helping to expand our footprint and advance our ability to create a world where every child with special health care needs gets the care and support they deserve. Prior to Imagine Pediatrics, Mr. Boghos co-founded and led AIM Clinics, a center and in-home provider dedicated to delivering evidence-based Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) services to children with autism and their families who are from communities that experience health inequity. As CEO of AIM Clinics, Mr. Boghos was responsible for organizational growth and operational strategy. In four years, he led the company's expansion from one clinic in Arkansas to more than 25 clinics spanning five states. In 2021, he oversaw AIM Clinics' merger with Hopebridge Autism Therapy Centers — where he served as Chief Strategy Officer before joining the Clinical Advisory Board in 2023. As a current member of the board, Mr. Boghos remains deeply committed to the company's vision of ensuring that all kids have access to comprehensive autism interventions at the highest level. Before dedicating his career to reimagining pediatric health care, Mr. Boghos trained in healthcare finance and investing, spending time at Primus Capital Funds, Baird Capital, and Citadel. He earned a B.A. in Economics and Mathematics from Vanderbilt University as well as an M.B.A. from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. He currently resides in Chicago, Illinois with his family.

Episode 403 of RevolutionZ takes a side trip away from our current ideology sequence to revisit the issues surrounding the development of Artificial Intelligence. Media is full of smart sober folks saying the end is near but also with smart sober folks saying utopia is near. Are we on a deadly trajectory to hell? Or is heaven on earth the next stop on the technology express? Or maybe it is just two-headed hype. Just another shiny new technology but barely more than that? More immediately, what has happened of late? What is likely to happen next? What should we ourselves work to cause to happen?AI is getting “better” so fast that arguing about today's mistakes can miss the main fact that matters most: the slope of the curve. We consider what happens when large language models evolve into agentic systems. When being able to spit out "the next word" so effectively that passing the Turing Test is a lark, to being able to plan, to autonomously act, even to recruit other AIs, and to self-improve in ways even their creators can't predict not only impinges on what used to be how humans earn and live, but also, how we manifest our humanity. We ask a simple question with big implications: if you had a three-position switch, would you let AI continue full speed, pause it until strict enforceable rules exist, or shut it down forever? We dig into the motives behind AI's trajectory. The story involves innovations; but the crux is motivations and incentives. When CEOs believe the first country and company to reach artificial super intelligence, or ASI, wins everything, for them to seek safety becomes in their eyes a competitive handicap. The public becomes collateral. We consider how the emerging "who is going to win, it better be me" emphasis means for AI safety, regulation, data centers and "compute," and why “trust the companies” and "trust the government," is not a plan. We also get specific about real-world impacts: deepfakes that shred shared reality, AI-enabled fraud that scales without limit, surveillance that tightens lives, and job displacement that turns productivity into pink slips. And then we step outside the box of familiar AI discussion to ask even if we imagine perfect intentions--no nefarious apocalypse of greed and hate--we still have to wrestle with the impact of unintended consequences like outsourced reading, outsourced care, and the slow erosion of the skills and bonds that make us human. This episode is unsettling. Share it with a friend who thinks AI is just another tool, all that matters is who owns it, and ask yourself and others: do we need fast, faster, and fastest development, as now, or do we need a moratorium, a full shutdown, or something else entirely? Data centers are certainly horrible. To oppose them is more than warranted. But if the companies were to find a way to ASI without data centers, would that suddenly be something to celebrate--or to terminate? Is AI an existential danger? Is it a path to civilized living at last? Or is it just a lot of hype?Support the show

In this episode of the Language on the Move Podcast, Dr Agnes Bodis talks to Hannah Madin and Catherine White. Hannah is a Teaching and Learning Officer at the Department of Education in the Northern Territory (Australia), and Catherine White is a Teaching and Learning Coach in secondary education. We are zooming in on learning English as an additional language or dialect in remote communities in Australia's Northern Territory (NT). There are numerous Aboriginal languages spoken there as well as dialects of English. However, the language of schooling remains Standard Australian English. We discuss this mismatch between first or home languages, language of education, and teacher preparedness. Hannah and Catherine outline a collaborative project by the NT Department of Education to remove these barriers to learning in the school context. The project is called “Roadmap to Stage 1 Essential English and Mathematics” and includes not only the creation of teaching support materials, but the creation of an online Community of Practice, a professional learning program and school visits.

Welcome to Schauer Thoughts, this episode we're taking a long and winding journey through the land of loss and grief. I do appreciate everyone's patience as this episode is going out Thursday - I sincerely hope you enjoy it. I would also like to take the time to thank everyone who's been so kind to me, we are strangers and the internet can be so cruel, but you guys haven't been. I know sad comments get me down sometimes but I also see the kind messages and those have profoundly impacted me. I am grateful for y'alls kindness, support, and even just your time. I hope nothing but good things for each and every one of you - if you are grieving, please do not rush yourself, but know that there are options to “unstick,” even just for a moment. I am sending all the positive vibes I can muster and I can't wait to chat next week. Also, no pressure, but if you'd like to see me do stand up, this is the link for the show! I'm nervous but excited and can't wait to get back into in-person comedy.

In this electric episode of Chats & Tatts, host Aaron Della Vedova sits down with comedian, former directional driller, and internet powerhouse Uncle Laser. Transitioning from high-stakes $500,000-a-year oil rig operations in 120-degree heat to stepping onto the Kill Tony stage for his very first stand-up set ever, Laser shares a raw, unfiltered look into his explosive journey. The conversation dives deep into the parallels between blue-collar labor and high-pressure performance, the harsh reality of burning through savings to chase a dream, and the profound moment a fan's story made him realize comedy is far bigger than money or fame. Beyond the stage antics, Aaron and Laser unpack the mechanics of stand-up writing, navigating crowds without losing authenticity, and lessons learned from comedy heavyweights like Joe Rogan, Tony Hinchcliffe, and Brian Redban. They delve into wild personal stories, high-volume gambling, matrix-like algorithm theories, the existential threat of AI, and why staying true to yourself is the ultimate key to longevity in both life and entertainment.   Chapters 00:00 - Introduction & Welcoming Uncle Lazar 03:19 - Walking Away From $500K in the Oil Field for Stand-Up 06:34 - The Emotional Reality of Comedy & Fan Impact 11:27 - Directional Drilling vs. Comedy Mental Stress 15:20 - Writing Material vs. Testing Jokes on Stage 21:56 - Tattoo Culture, Business Operations, & Respecting the Craft 31:37 - The Authentic Creative Process 35:56 - How Aaron Tattooed Joe Rogan & Rogan's "No Bullshit" Vibe 37:30 - Brian Redban & The Inception of Modern Comedy Podcasting 41:10 - Deep Dive on Ron White & Finding Your Voice 48:00 - Sobriety, Longevity, & Navigating Comedy's Rockstar Lifestyle 55:48 - AI, Population Control, & Simulation Theories 1:07:21 - Evolving Comedy Style & Connecting with Audiences 1:12:47 - Media Manipulation, Social Algorithms, & Mind Games 1:22:06 - High-Stakes Gambling, Mathematics, & Closing Ou   Stay Connected:   Chats & Tatts: Website: http://www.chatsandtatts.com⁠ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@chatsandtatts  IG: http://www.instagram.com/chatsandtatts Chats & Tatts YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/chatsandtatts   Connect with Aaron:⁠   Aaron IG:⁠ http://www.instagram.com/aarondellavedova⁠ Guru Tattoo: http://www.Gurutattoo.com   Connect with Uncle Lazer: Instagram: instagram.com/uncle_lazer TikTok: tiktok.com/@unclelazer69 Tour Dates & Tickets: punchup.live/unclelazer Podcast: Search "My Drunk Uncle's Podcast" on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts Patreon: patreon.com/UncleLazer

We're joined by Anna Greenspan: philosopher, Associate Professor at NYU Shanghai, where she co-directs the Center for AI and Culture, and author of Shanghai Future and China and the Wireless Undertow. Longtime listeners will recognize her twice over — as co-editor of Machine Decision is Not Final and as the author of Capitalism's Transcendental Time Machine.The occasion is Greenspan's new research: a philosophy of the artificial built through the garden. If AI is now something "grown, not built," the garden raises the question of agency immediately — anyone who tries to make one learns that the thing the garden gardens is the gardener. Greenspan is surveying seven aesthetic garden traditions, and here we tour a few.References:Samuel Butler, Erewhon (1872), esp.

I personally subscribe to The Economist. TOE listeners get 35% off the annual subscription. No other podcast has this! https://economist.com/TOE Ten days after winning the Fields Medal — math's highest honor — Jacob Tsimerman joins to explain why he's leaving academia temporarily for OpenAI's AI safety team, and why he's grieving even as he does it. The conversation covers why math is one of the first fields being radically reshaped by AI, whether a proof still counts if no one can understand it, what mathematical "understanding" really means, the ethics of elite access to frontier models, his disagreements with the Leiden Declaration, and his advice for young people weighing a career in pure math in an age of rapidly advancing AI. This is an exclusive first podcast with Jacob Tsimerman.

Famed mathematician Pythagoras — he of the right-angled triangle theorem — discovered mathematical principles which J. S. Bach used in his compositions. Violinist and artistic director of Bach Akademie Australia Madeleine Easton, and composer and conductor Christopher Bowen describe how mathematical principles form the basis of western musical harmony and how J. S. Bach used mathematics in his compositions.

Die Fibonacci-Folge zählt zu den bekanntesten mathematischen Zahlenreihen. Benannt ist sie nach dem italienischen Rechenmeister Leonardo da Pisa, der sie allerdings gar nicht erfunden hat. In seinem Lehrbuch ist sie auch eigentlich nur eine kleine Randnotiz. Dafür war er der erste, der den europäischen Kaufleuten die indisch-arabischen Ziffern näherbrachte.

On this episode of The Distribution, Brandon Sedloff and Raphi Schorr explore what makes inefficient markets the last bastion of alpha in private investing. Schorr, Deputy Chief Investment Officer and Partner at HighVista Strategies, explains how his firm deploys $14 billion across overlooked corners of the market, from lower middle market private equity to venture capital, private credit, and public biotech, where large addressable markets, poor information, and limited competition still reward patient capital and deep networks. They discuss: - Why lower middle market private equity operates beneath the radar of most institutional investors - How backing fund one managers in venture capital creates decades of compounding access - Why 50% of the S&P 500 is venture-backed and what that means for where value is created today - The rise of GP-led secondaries in the lower middle market as sponsors seek to hold their crown jewels longer - How pattern recognition built over 20 years helps identify winning managers and companies in fragmented markets This episode offers a clear view into how experienced allocators find alpha in markets most investors never see.

A homily for the 18th Sunday in ordinary time.

A mathematician sets out to participate in the study of evolution... and ends up engaging in some fascinating research about social cooperation and the queerness of evolution!    In this episode, Sara Jolena sits down with her old college friend Ben Allen, a mathematician whose work models how cooperation evolves — from iron-sharing bacteria to communal-nesting birds. They consider what this research might illuminate about cooperation in human communities. They then turn towards some of Ben's current research on queerness in evolution. Same-sex behavior has now been documented in more than 1,500 species... and it just keeps getting more interesting! Key Topics & Timestamps00:00 — Intro: welcome to ReMembering and ReEnchanting01:05 — Meet Ben Allen: mathematician, old friend, and a researcher on evolution 02:56 — From pure math to evolutionary biology: how Ben's path unfolded04:26 — Why organisms cooperate — and why "survival of the fittest" is an incomplete story06:27 — The bacteria that share iron with their neighbors08:18 — Modeling evolution mathematically: networks, neighbors, and cooperation09:13 — From microbes to mammals: what changes (and what doesn't) when culture enters the picture11:03 — Local connection as a strategy for large-scale engagement (including activism)12:52 — Other paths to cooperation: kin selection, reciprocity, and reputation14:26 — What evolution actually means: reproduction, inheritance, and mutation16:53 — A parallel to religious traditions: continuity and change in tension17:42 — What "reproduction" really means across the tree of life (sexual, asexual, horizontal gene transfer)19:37 — What biologists actually mean by "male" and "female" — and why the definition breaks down23:04 — Evolution "finds a way": clonal fish, sex-changing clownfish, and the limits of a human template25:45 — Sex beyond reproduction: play, pleasure, and social bonding across species26:43 — The 2019 paper reframing same-sex behavior in animals31:28 — Ben's current research: could early marine life not even "see" sex at all?33:15 — Deep-sea squid, imperfect filtering, and why indiscriminate mating can be an evolutionary advantage36:37 — Two evolutionary strategies: cost of mating vs. population density38:36 — Connection, yearning, and sociability across species41:10 — Individual variation: why generalizing about any species misses the truth42:16 — "A very queer evolutionary story"43:20 — Darwin's Victorian assumptions that we are still unlearning44:40 — The perspective of the scientist shifts the questions and analysis that the scientist does.

This week, we're re-airing two classic stories about finding friends. Science can be a lonely job -- but it can also connect us to others in ways we'd never imagine.Part 1: Feeling isolated in her new job as a particle accelerator operator at Fermilab, Cindy Joe finds comfort in the friendship of her unconventional pet. Part 2: Patrick Honner starts to doubt his lifelong love of math when graduate school becomes a lonely experience. Cindy Joe is an engineering physicist working with several of Fermilab's experiments studying neutrinos, tiny particles that might hold the answers to some of the universe's biggest mysteries. A first-generation college student, she grew up dreaming big in the back of her family's Chinese restaurant in a small town in Arkansas. While obtaining her bachelor's degree in physics, she also became a licensed senior reactor operator at Reed College's nuclear research reactor. She then moved to even bigger machines, working as a particle accelerator operator in Fermilab's Main Control Room for seven years. Cindy is deeply passionate about science outreach, and has spoken to audiences from elementary school to members of Congress. A 2-time presenter at Fermilab's Physics Slam and a contributor to PechaKucha Night Batavia, she currently lectures in Fermilab's Saturday Morning Physics program for high school students. Patrick Honner is an award-winning mathematics teacher who lives in Brooklyn, New York. He has taught everything from introductory algebra to multivariable calculus, and currently teaches calculus, linear algebra, and mathematical computing at Brooklyn Technical High School, where he also serves as instructional coach. Patrick is in his fourth Math for America Master Teacher Fellowship; he is a New York State Master Teacher; a Sloan award winner; and a Rosenthal Prize honoree. And in 2013 he received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching. Patrick writes about math and teaching for Quanta Magazine, the New York Times, and on his blog.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Making Sense of Fractions with Susan Empson, PhD ROUNDING UP: SEASON 4 | EPISODE 23 For quite a few adults, fractions were a stumbling block in their education, causing them to lose their footing and begin to doubt their ability to make sense of math. But this doesn't have to be the case for our students! In this rerelease of an episode from Season 2, we're talking with Susan Empson, PhD, about big ideas in fractions and how we can make them more meaningful for our students. BIOGRAPHY Susan B. Empson is an emerita professor in the department of Learning, Teaching, and Curriculum at the University of Missouri. She and Vicki Jacobs are currently collaborating on a National Science Foundation research grant to study elementary teachers' learning and development centered on teaching in ways that are responsive to children's mathematical thinking in the domain of rational numbers. Her research on children's thinking about fractions is the topic of her 2011 book, Extending Children's Mathematics: Fractions and Decimals (with co-author Linda Levi), and she has published widely in refereed journals, including Cognition and Instruction, Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, Educational Studies in Mathematics, Teaching Children Mathematics, and Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education. She has been a researcher of Cognitively Guided Instruction since 1989 and is a co-author of Children's Mathematics: Cognitively Guided Instruction (1st and 2nd editions).  RESOURCES Extending Children's Mathematics: Fractions and Decimals book by Susan B.

Identifying various types of functions is an important concept in Mathematics. Students often feel overwhelmed by the way it's explained. Here we are trying to simplify this special topic to make it student friendly Let's keep learning mathematics in the fun way

Wang Hong is the third female recipient in the history of the award. She expressed hope that her story will inspire more young girls. Deng Yu said he hopes more Chinese mathematicians will step onto the world stage.

Sports and statistics go hand-in-hand. But some of those statistics are more interesting than others. Each year, the Royal Statistical Society highlights some of the most compelling sports stats in its Sports Statistic of the Year competition this year's winners are the focus of this episode of Stats and Stories with Jessica Hargreaves and Robert Mastrodomenico. Jessica Hargreaves is the chair of the RSS's Statistics in Sport Section. She's also a Lecturer in Statistics in the Department of Mathematics at the University of York. Her academic focus includes nonstationary time series analysis, wavelet analysis, and applications in sports analytics, such as ClusterAFC. She also researches pedagogy, including peer-assisted learning and accessible course notes. Rob Mastrodomenico is a sports statistician and an active fellow of the Royal Statistical Society. He's been the chair of the Statisticians for Society initiative since its inception in 2017.

Mastrodomenico also works as director of data science at Blue Crow Sports Group.

Hannah Fry, Cambridge's first Professor of the Public Understanding of Mathematics, has been awarded the Leelavati Prize at this year's International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM). The Leelavati Prize is awarded every four years by the International Mathematical Union and Infosys for outstanding contributions for increasing public awareness of mathematics. We talked to Hannah in the run-up to the ICM about how she feels about being awarded the prize, the role of mathematics in culture, and her favourite experience as a maths communicator. As Hannah puts it, "I feel as though there are these wonderful secrets that are completely invisible to almost everybody in the world who are mathematicians and it doesn't make sense to me we would keep them to ourselves — I feel as though I have this really good bit of gossip that I just want to share." To hear Hannah talk about her favourite mathematical moment, which is mentioned in this episode, see this podcast recorded when she became Professor of the Public Understanding of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge. You can see the part of Hannah Fry's RI Christmas lecture mentioned in this podcast on YouTube. The photo of Hannah is courtesy of the Simons Foundation. Maths on the Move, is the podcast from plus.maths.org. We speak to researchers from the frontiers of mathematical science so you can connect with the maths that shapes and explains our world.

After a short break due to busy calendars, we are back to discuss the role automation and artificial intelligence can play in science. Is AI evil, or does it just amplify the problems that were already present in science? Can automated AI driven checks help scientists to improve the way they work? If so, where are these tools helpful, and when? Enjoy.  The Babbage quote is from Babbage in November 1839, recalling events in 1821; quoted in Harry Wilmot Buxton and Anthony Hyman (1988), Memoir of the Life and Labours of the Late Charles Babbage.   Alfred Whitehead: An Introduction to Mathematics (1911)   Blog about AI references: Evaluating Dr. Cuddy's Claim that the Debunking of Power Posing is a Myth. https://daniellakens.blogspot.com/2026/05/evaluating-dr-cuddys-claim-that.html   Metacheck: DeBruine L, Mesquida C, Werner J, Lakens D (2026). metacheck: Check Research Outputs for Best Practices. doi:10.5281/zenodo.20704754, R package version 0.1.0, https://scienceverse.org/metacheck   Cummins, J., Clarke, B., Hussey, I., & Elson, M.

Healthcare organizations have more data than ever before, but turning that data into actionable insights remains one of the industry's biggest challenges. In this episode of The Beat AI in Healthcare Podcast, host Sandy Vance sits down with Nabil Jallouli, CEO and co-founder of Rollstack, to discuss how AI-powered reporting is helping healthcare organizations simplify value-based care reporting, improve decision-making, and scale personalized reporting without overwhelming their teams. Nabil shares why dashboards alone are no longer enough, why executives need trusted narratives instead of raw data, and how healthcare organizations can automate reporting while maintaining governance, security, and accuracy. Whether you work in healthcare leadership, data analytics, customer success, value-based care, or digital transformation, this conversation offers practical insights into using AI responsibly to improve reporting and business outcomes.  In this episode, they talk about: Why value-based care requires an entirely different approach to healthcare reporting The hidden "last mile" problem between business intelligence dashboards and executive decision-making Why healthcare organizations struggle with manual reporting despite major investments in analytics platforms How AI can automate repetitive reporting while keeping humans focused on strategy and relationships The importance of governance and trusted data in healthcare AI Why executives rarely spend more than a few seconds reviewing dashboards How personalized reporting improves payer, provider, and customer relationships The role of automation in scaling reporting across hundreds of healthcare partners Measuring ROI from AI reporting solutions and why reporting automation often delivers significant business value Why healthy skepticism around AI is actually helping healthcare adopt better long-term solutions How Rollstack protects sensitive healthcare data with enterprise-grade security and zero data retention policies What healthcare leaders should prioritize as AI adoption continues to accelerate A Little About Nabil: Nabil Jallouli is the co-founder and CEO of Rollstack, an enterprise platform helping companies like SoFi, Zillow, and Whirlpool automate their data-driven presentations and documents. Rollstack leverages deep integrations with leading business intelligence tools (Tableau, Power BI, Looker, and others) and AI to streamline reporting processes, including business reviews, EHR and HCP reporting, financial reporting, and client presentations. By eliminating manual copy-paste, reducing errors, and ensuring accuracy, Rollstack enables organizations to operate more efficiently and focus on decision-making rather than document preparation. The company is backed by Y Combinator and Insight Partners and is fully SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA compliant, meeting the highest standards of security and data protection for enterprise and healthcare customers. Before founding Rollstack, Nabil built his career leading data analytics and revenue strategy teams at Pinterest, Deel, and Groupon. Across these experiences, he observed a common problem: highly skilled professionals spending countless hours preparing slides and reports instead of focusing on high-value work and strategy. This recurring pain point ultimately inspired the creation of Rollstack. Nabil holds a Master of Engineering and dual Bachelor's degrees in Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science from École Centrale Paris.

What do kindergarten counting concepts have to do with high school algebra? More than most teachers realize. In this episode, Joanie and Curtis sit down with Erin Wahler-Cleveland, founder of Roots and Wings Math, to explore how deep understanding of early and elementary mathematics lays the groundwork for everything that comes later — and what teachers at every grade level can do to better support that understanding.Erin opens with a thought-provoking coordinate-plane framework that distinguishes between easy/hard (subjective) and simple/complex (objective). The key insight? As we gain expertise, complex things start to feel simple — and that's exactly what makes teaching so hard. Early numeracy lives in the easy yet complex quadrant, and its depth is routinely underestimated by the adults who teach it.We discuss important instructional shifts for teachers at every level, and land on an important key takeaway: The central challenge of teaching mathematics is maintaining awareness of a complexity that has become invisible through expertise. The remedy — at both elementary and secondary levels — is giving teachers genuine learner experiences with the content they teach, paired with disciplined questioning practices that reveal student thinking rather than assume it.Resources & Links MentionedRoots and Wings Math – https://www.rootsandwingsmath.com/The Dunning-Kruger Effect - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effectRoom to Grow Podcast – www.roomtogrowmath.com  

We are continuing our conversations with mathematician colleagues at the University of Cambridge, part of the podcast we produce for the Maths Faculty here. Today we meet Julian Sahasrabudhe, Professor of Mathematics, and one of the invited speakers at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in July this year. The ICM is one of the biggest events in the mathematics world and is the host of several prizes, including the prestigious Fields Medal. Only mathematicians at the very forefront of research are invited to speak, so we were very excited to learn more about Julian's work. We spoke to him about his path into mathematics, from his childhood dreams to his early career as a drummer, before he finally settled on maths. Julian also gave us a brief introduction to his work in the field of combinatorics and how it offers partnerships with other areas of maths. The podcast mentions Maryna Viazovska, who won a Fields Medal in 2022. Julian discusses the link between Ramsey theory and her work on sphere packing, as in the image below (courtesy Greg A L, CC BY-SA 3.0).

Text us your thoughts!You've probably heard it before—claims about how the brain learns best or teaching moves justified by neuroscience.  These ideas have shaped classrooms, professional development, and even policy. But here's the question we're asking today: Have we gone too far? In this Hot Seat, we're joined by two guests who will be arguing that math education over-relies on brain-based research—and that this reliance may actually be limiting how we think about teaching, learning, and students themselves. So let's dive into the debate with this resolution: Math Education Over-Relies on Brain Research. You can contact Rev.

What if EVERYTHING you've been taught about science, consciousness, and even your own thoughts…is incomplete? In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Robert Edward Grant (renowned polymath, inventor, entrepreneur, mathematician, philosopher, host of the series Code X on Gaia.com) pulls back the veil on reality itself, revealing why millions are feeling an intense shift right now as humanity crosses into the Age of Aquarius. This isn't just spiritual talk - it's a radical fusion of math, physics, ancient wisdom, and consciousness that will leave you questioning everything. Why are so many people experiencing massive life transitions right now? Is the universe actually NOT material? Are your thoughts even happening inside your brain, or somewhere else entirely? We go deep into the hidden patterns that connect numerology, astrology, mythology, and sacred geometry, uncovering why music is literally “the geometry we hear” and how math might be the source code of reality itself. Robert shares his shocking personal journey, from Big Pharma CEO to spiritual seeker, and how repeated betrayal led him to one profound realization: You are here to learn unconditional love. Discover why what you judge is exactly what you attract, why he believes everyone must go through narcissism as part of their evolution, and whether ancient civilizations like Egypt, and even Leonardo da Vinci, have known secrets about higher-dimensional geometry that we're only now rediscovering. Robert breaks down: - What if the brain isn't a storage device, but an antenna tuning into a non-local field of consciousness? - Are there hidden codes embedded in da Vinci's art? - What is the Akashic field, and could all memory (past, present, and future) exist in an invisible infrasonic frequency field connecting Earth, the sun, and human thought? - If reality is a simulation, what happens when you become lucid inside it? - Why science and spirituality are not opposites, but the same language - How all disciplines (math, biology, psychology, physics, philosophy) are just different lenses of one truth - Deeper meaning behind the most popular song the week you were born - Why prime factorization is the foundation of encryption, and possibly reality itself - His belief that God is still learning and evolving - Why he doesn't fear “dark people”, only those who deny their darkness - How much of your life is actually predestined - Why polymaths appear on the walls of the Vatican - Mystery behind his favorite number, 137 His ultimate message? You don't need a guru. You don't need AI. You don't need religion. Everything you're searching for is already within you. If you're ready to rethink reality, consciousness, and your place in the universe, this is the conversation you've been waiting for.
