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! www.therandomsample.com.au

A piece of mathematics from the 1960s still quietly powers GPS, aviation, wearables - even space missions. In our latest episode, we explore the Kalman Filter with two men who've been working with it for decades! To listen, search your podcast app for The Random Sample. 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.

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.
