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
📢 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.
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!
