Unapologetic Mathematicians

In this episode I talk to Mike about his research into the maths behind soft condensed matter physics, why maths sometimes feels like poetry, and he also tells me about the transferable skills from showbusiness to lecturing.

In this episode I talk to Kasia about why she became a research mathematician, the benefits of eating chocolate and going on hikes for doing mathematics, and how spheres behave in higher dimensions.
