📢 New episode alert! How small is "nano"? And how can something so tiny have such a big impact? Our latest episode features Prof Ngamta (Natalie) Thamwattana from the Uni of Newcastle. We explore her research into the behaviour of granular materials - all the way down to the world of nanotechnology.

Happy International Women in Mathematics Day! We've released two episodes celebrating research excellence by women - and those who identify as women - in the mathematical sciences. To listen, just search for The Random Sample wherever you get your podcasts - or head to: www.therandomsample.com.au
Our latest episode features Dr Maria Kleshnina (QUT), the first mathematician to receive a L'Oréal–UNESCO For Women in Science Fellowship in Australia & New Zealand. We explore Maria’s field of interest, Game Theory, & why this mathematical way of thinking is so powerful!

The first episode looks into how mathematics is playing an increasingly important role in understanding pregnancy, reproductive health, and chronic conditions that disproportionately affect women - with guests Prof Alys Clark & Dr Claire Miller from @aucklanduni.bsky.social Bioengineering Institute.
The second episode explores how mathematical approaches can be used to understand anti‑vaccination sentiment - with guest Prof Stacey Smith? from the University of Ottawa. Our host is Dr Eva Stadler from the Kirby Institute at UNSW.

This is one of the coolest projects I have had a chance to contribute to. Fabulous work by Thomas Williams @macsys.bsky.social modeling the consequences of proteins and LPS embedding into bacterial outer membranes

The outer membrane is the interface through which Gram-negative bacteria - a broad classification of organisms including \textit{Escherichia coli} and a number of deadly pathogens - interact with the ...
