This podcast explores how contemporary fiction is fundamentally reshaping its relationship with nature. The hosts use a powerful metaphor: imagine a traditional play where the painted backdrop—trees, sun, river—suddenly wakes up, dropping real leaves, radiating heat, and flooding the orchestra. This represents how environmental literature has shifted from treating nature as passive setting to an active, demanding presence. The discussion traces eco-criticism's emergence from 1970s environment...

Teaching math in 2026 is demanding in ways that are structural, cultural, and relentless — and yet the conversation about teacher sustainability rarely makes space for what math educators are actually carrying. In this episode, Curtis and Joanie get honest about burnout, purpose, and community in the math teaching profession. Drawing on research from burnout science, teacher identity, and professional resilience, this conversation explores three ideas that don't get discussed enough: why burn...

Welcome to Voices of Mathematics, a podcast from the Mathematics Faculty at the University of Cambridge.From number theory and geometry to cosmology and quantum physics, join us to explore topics across pure and applied mathematics, mathematical statistics and theoretical physics. In this episode we talk to James Fergusson, Professor of Theoretical Cosmology in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. James is also the Executive Director of the University of Cambridge's

This conversation explores how ancient oral cultures used poetry as a survival technology long before writing existed. In "primary oral cultures," words existed only as fleeting sounds—when spoken, they vanished instantly. Without writing, societies faced a desperate challenge: how to preserve laws, navigation routes, agricultural cycles, and survival knowledge across generations. The solution was poetry—specifically rhythm, rhyme, meter, and repetition. These weren't artistic flourishes but ...

hese sources examine the life and enduring influence of Alexander Pushkin, widely regarded as the architect of modern Russian literature and national identity. Scholars highlight his unique African ancestry and noble heritage, noting how this dual identity allowed him to bridge the gap between elite European culture and indigenous folklore. The texts further explore the literary evolution of his successors, such as Ivan Turgenev, whose status as a "Russian European" became a central focus for...

This conversation explores the tension between Walt Whitman's revolutionary poetry and his problematic post-Civil War politics. The speakers argue that while Whitman broke free from traditional British meter to create an authentically American free verse—one demanding democratic participation from readers—his later response to the Civil War reveals deep contradictions. Before the war, Whitman celebrated a biocentric worldview where all bodies, regardless of race or class, shared equal divine ...

又到了學校的期中考周。應該很多人都經歷過那些考前的煎熬，考試中的焦慮緊張與考後的不安。但放在時間長流中溫煮慢煨，很多當時的痛與傷，現在反而成為了有味的回憶。讓我們穿過時空，回到那些永遠考不完試的年代。。。。歡迎收聽 分享指教

В новом выпуске «Нестандартной модели» ведущий Андрей Коняев и руководитель разработки Angie Software, экс-разработчик nginx Валентин Бартенев обсуждают, что разработка инфраструктурного ПО — это сложный инженерный процесс, в который входит чтение, проектирование, тестирование и коллективное ревью. Также из подкаста вы узнаете, почему инженерное мышление оказывается полезным далеко за пределами IT.

В десятом выпуске подкаста Андрей Коняев беседует с заместителем гендиректора по инновациям компании «Альфачип». Разговор посвящён проектированию сверхбольших интегральных схем и использованию нейросетей в микроэлектронике.

В новом эпизоде «Нестандартной модели» Андрей Коняев ведет разговор о лечении аутоиммунных заболеваний с ректором Российского национального исследовательского медицинского университета им. Н.И. Пирогова и доктором биологических наук Сергеем Лукьяновым. Своей экспертизой гость делится одновременно как ученый и как человек с болезнью Бехтерева.

В этом выпуске «Нестандартной модели» поговорим о земном. О разных необычных минералах, металлах и породах Андрей Коняев беседует с академиком РАН, профессором и доктором геолого-минералогических наук Сергеем Кривовичевым.

Новый выпуск «Нестандартной модели» посвящен раку предстательной железы. Об одном из самых распространенных онкологических заболеваний у мужчин Андрей Коняев беседует с заместителем гендиректора по научной работе НМИЦ радиологии Минздрава России и доктором медицинских наук Борисом Алексеевым.

Why do students struggle with math — even when they get the answer right?In this full math professional development training, Jonily — founder of Minds on Math and host of Saturday Math — challenges one of the biggest misconceptions in math education:Solving is not learning.For decades, math instruction has prioritized procedures, algorithms, and finishing problems. But true math achievement comes from something deeper: number sense, reasoning, and conceptual understanding.If you're a math

This transcript analyzes how Shakespeare weaponized language, specifically Latinate neologisms (new Latin-based words), to establish power and authority on stage—much like modern CEOs use corporate jargon. During the Renaissance, English was undergoing massive upheaval, incorporating roughly 10,000 new words. Traditionalists condemned these "inkhorn terms" as pretentious contamination. Shakespeare recognized that Latin-root words carried institutional weight and authority, while Anglo-Saxon w...

In this episode, mathematician and award-winning magician Matt Baker explores the fascinating intersection of mathematics and magic, revealing how mathematical principles, intuition, and storytelling create unforgettable illusions. From a mind-reading trick based on the classic concept of “casting out nines” to his groundbreaking research on the Riemann–Roch theorem for graphs, Baker demonstrates how creativity and pattern recognition drive both mathematical discovery and magical performance

I discuss a nice paper I quite enjoyed reading, called The Calculated Typer, by Garby, Bahr, and Hutton. The authors take a very nice general look at the specification of a type checker, for a very simple expression language. They then manually derive the actual code for the type checker by effectively trying to prove that this as yet unknown code satisfies its spec. (This is what is meant by calculating the type checker.)

In this episode, Jacob and Igor break down the DoD vs. Anthropic standoff, tracing how Claude's use in military operations led to Anthropic being designated a supply chain security risk. Perhaps more importantly, why did Anthropic choose to take a stand now, and what can that tell us about the corporations behavior moving forward. The investigation is used as a case study in how to read the real motivations behind big institutions: intrinsic values, rational self-interest, and
