Obviously - since this is a Google Deepmind podcast - @nicklaslundblad is presenting one particular view. But I hope you'll see that I've tried to make this conversation as robust, fair and interesting a listen as possible. Would love to hear what you think

The pleasure was all mine! Pushmeet is one of my favourite people on earth to interview - and you can see why if you watch our latest here:
It was a pleasure to talk to @FryRsquared about the work we are doing @GoogleDeepMind on leveraging Ai for Science. She has amazing intellectual curiosity and insight, and is passionate about AI and Science.

I prefer to think of it as a true crime podcast, but about graphs..
11yo and me are loving Series 2 of Uncharted with @FryRSquared bedtime stories for #STEM people the kid calls it. Favourite episode so far Whispers from the Cosmos about Jocelyn Bell Burnell's discovery of pulsars👇bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0022s…

A beautiful idea, @OxUniMaths ❤️ And Tim is the perfect lecturer 🙏
In memory of Vicky Neale, the Clay Mathematics Institute, Oxford Mathematics & @xtxmarkets have inaugurated a lecture in her name. @TimHarford looks at how data built our world, & how we can use it to build a better one. Book: maths.ox.ac.uk/node/68531

Genuinely delightful
🧵 When I was in high school, my physics teacher casually mentioned during lecture that “the number zero is neither odd nor even”. I knew he was wrong; we ended up getting in an argument about it at the end of which he still didnt agree with me. I wasn’t going to let it drop 1/n

Oh I know *exactly* what I’m doing 😝
Watching @FryRsquared explain the microwave. There’s a bit where she says that the inventor had a candy bar in his pocket and an early version of the machine “melted his nut cluster.” There’s not even an oo-er.

Replying to @FryRsquared
@FryRsquared my almost-7year old daughter Mireia loves the Secret Genius of Modern lab and drew you a picture while watching the smartphones episode. Thanks for such brilliant, interesting and entertainment programme!

There is a whole series! Apparently last week there was some strange show about men kicking a leather bag on grass instead? Not sure. Didn’t watch it. Anyway. We’re back on tomorrow!
What’s happened to #TheSecretGeniusOfModernLife? I don’t buy listings magazines any more, but my telly box recorded a new ep about Passports ages ago, and nothing since. Was that it? (I hope not) @FryRsquared

At some top universities your entire degree grade is largely determined by one week of final exams. All that work. And it comes down to your performance across one single week. Find me a system more obviously designed without women in mind 🩸 thetimes.co.uk/article/femal…
