Pi Day 2020 was the first ever UNESCO International Day of Mathematics. To celebrate we made a worldwide collaborative video on the theme ‘Mathematics is everywhere’. You can watch the full video here (I’m at 3:39) or just my contribution below – enjoy!

Bayes Billiards with James Grime (from Numberphile)
Bayes’ Theorem allows us to assign a probability to an unknown fact. Thomas Bayes himself described an experiment with a billiard table so me and James tried to recreate it. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite go to plan…

Nailing Science: The Maths of Rivers
Creating scientifically accurate nail art whilst discussing my research in fluid dynamics with Dr Becky Smethurst and Dr Michaela Livingston-Banks at the University of Oxford.
We recorded 1h30mins of footage, so this is the heavily edited version of our chat ranging from the fluid dynamics equations needed to describe the flow of water in a river, the Coriolis effect, the experimental set up replicating this, and how these experiments can help with the clean up of pollution.
