Stories from a social enterprise that uses mathematical sciences in impact-oriented work around the world. Our experiences range from helping some of the world's poorest farmers get value from data, to enabling academics to use AI responsibly in their teaching. We never know what our next task will be but the last 6 years have shown that it is likely to lead to a story.

A thought-provoking series that centers AI, data governance, and equitable tech deployment in social-impact contexts. Episodes balance theoretical debates (constructivist vs. symbolist AI, governance, and open science) with practical applications in education, biodiversity, climate services, and community-led data initiatives. A notable strength is the ongoing focus on how technology can serve under-resourced communities, foster local ownership, and avoid concentration of power, often through participatory approaches and multi-stakeholder collaboration. Listeners are likely practitioners, researchers, and NGO professionals who want rigorous yet actionable insights on deploying AI and data in real-world development settings.
