Read excerpt
Should a life-saving, but expensive, cancer drug be made available on the NHS even though it only benefits very few people? We spoke to Joe Hilton, a health economist, to understand more about how difficult decisions like this one are made.
Meet a Mathematical Family (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A family of mathematicians? Learn how one family came together to develop a new proof in group theory.
Ramin Zabih: Welcome to the ArXiv (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, we meet the CEO of one of the most important institutions in mathematics - arXiV. Around since 1991, the website is a publicly accessible home for mathematical research before it is officially published in journals. Around 1,000 articles are published on arXiv every day — it has hosted everything from the proof of the Poincaré Conjecture to some of the newest research from AI companies like DeepSeek and Gemini. We spoke to Ramin Zabih, a Professor at Cornell Tech and Interim Chi
James Fergusson: AI and data intensive science (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What is the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in scientific research? In this episode, Cambridge Professor James Fergusson talks about some cutting-edge research which addresses this question. James is Director of the Infosys-Cambridge AI Centre, an innovative partnership between traditional academia and industry. James showed us how AI is quickly becoming the most effective tool for some kinds of data analysis, and even highlighted successful experiments he ran using AI to write researc
Ulrich Sperhake and Seppe Staelens: Boson stars (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome to the latest episode of Maths on the Move! In this episode we spoke to Cambridge Professor of Theoretical Physics Ulrich Sperhake and his graduate student, Seppe Staelens, about boson stars: hypothetical objects that might be masquerading as black holes. Our conversation with Ulrich and Seppe marked the tenth anniversary of the first detection of gravitational waves. As Ulrich explained back then, gravitational waves "opened our ears to the Universe in a waveband in which we have been 1
