I taught a Year 3 maths lesson today. This is my first step towards a career change next year.
No!! I loved this programme. Such a shame. Just listened to the latest, not realising until the end that it was the last one. 😭

I enjoyed hearing Ben and Alice's take on emotions and the British stiff upper lip on their podcast "Here for the History" - with a generous mention of my work too - 🙏bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0nyx7…

A friend just revealed to me that the middle name of Benoit B. Mandelbrot is Benoit B. Mandelbrot.
I ask this as it has now been 7 days in a row, and there will continue to be high demand throughout the summer. Your announcements are always very vague and apologetic and make no reference to timescales for a return to continuous service.

Very proud that Tax Policy Associates is the first to publish research identifying a highly statistically significant correlation between the number of cheeses a country has and the number of taxes (p=0.0000000375).
This changes everything.
Always lovely to get these echoes of my former life in the midst of a busy week of Y4 teaching. This time a Chinese translation of my Science and Religion: A Very Short Introduction. 😊

No I do not remember that! I joined Twitter 15 years ago and enjoyed it very much for a while.

【歴史学からのメッセージ】

Within Western thought, cognition and emotion have traditionally been conceived as adversaries. | iai.tv/articles/brain-vs-hea…
However, @ProfThomasDixon debunks the reason/feeling dichotomy and its historical connection with patriarchal ideas.
