4.7 out of 5 stars from 23 ratings
  • Great info but poor sound quality

    Loved getting info on all sorts of careers in math; however, the sound levels are uneven and often too low. It is hard to hear some parts of it, especially the people being interviewed. It’s frustrating but the information I’m getting is worth it. Looking forward to incorporating this knowledge with my students.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Unlocking the Secrets of AI
Q: What are some of the limitations to AI?
Quantifying the uncertainty behind AI predictions and clarifying the underlying reasoning behind those predictions are both important.
Smashing Particles up Against Mathematics
Q: Has your advice to the government changed in any way based on this research?
Yes, we are now able to give better advice on noise levels and vessel traffic that would be tolerable for the narwhals.
Smashing Particles up Against Mathematics
Q: What have you been able to use math to accomplish so far in studying the narwhals?
We have been able to determine the behavioral changes when narwhals are exposed to noise and how it affects their diving and foraging behavior.
