Here is a selection of my mathematics communication in recent years.
BBC Radio 4
I offered a mathematician’s perspective on Murphy’s Law on radio show Laws That Aren’t Laws, hosted by comedian and writer Robin Ince, first aired in August 2020.
YouTube videos
In January 2023, I was featured in a Numberphile video using binary to memorise the order of the colour of all 52 cards in a pack.
In Autumn 2022 I was featured in a video by Matt Parker showcasing ‘The Great Collatz Collab’, a project I devised and ran for Think Maths. In this project I made a giant Collatz map/tree using snippets of maps drawn by school students.
My video about my favourite ‘mega number’ (as part of James Grime and Matt Parker’s MegaFavNumbers project) has more than 22,000 views.
I made my first video in July 2018 about my favourite probability puzzle, the Aeroplane Seating Puzzle, for the Big Internet Math-Off, a maths communication competition looking to find the ‘world’s most interesting mathematician’.
