The Big Ideas in Mathematics and Writing Olympiad Problems with Daniel Griller
Daniel Griller studied Maths at Trinity College Cambridge, has written maths problems for the British Maths Olympiad, Radio 4, The Guardian and The New Scientist, and is currently a maths teacher. We discuss debates in mathematics, his experiences writing olympiad problems, as well as advice and techniques to use in your own problem solving. He has published three books: A Ring of Cats and Dogs: and Other Curious Puzzles, Problem Solving in GCSE Mathematics, and Elastic Numbers: 108 Puzzles for the Serious Problem Solver. They contain some great problems, and we encourage you to buy one. This episode was cohosted with Ishaan Das.

Intro to Ecology and how We're Destroying Our Planet

Ecology is not only important as a way to understand our environment, but also to understand how we're damaging it. How does deforestation affect the carbon cycle? How do fertilisers affect fish? How could impurities in fossil fuels kill organisms? I answer these questions, and more, in this episode, as I go over the fundamentals of ecology, as well as the main human influences on the environment, including global warming and climate change.

Our Favourite Maths and Logic Puzzles, Part 2
This is episode 9 of the Scientific Discussion, where we discussed more of our favourite math and logic puzzles.  As always, these puzzles did not require long, drawn out mathematical working out, which would be impossible to convey through audio, but rather quick, creative thinking, which is the fun of problem solving. Part 1 was by far our most successful episode and we are keen to make this a series. Thanks for listening!

Radioactivity - the world of unstable nuclei (GCSE Revision)

In this episode, we delve into radioactivity, the world of nuclei when they become unstable. Lost to get into here, make sure you let us know if you want a part 2. Also, this episode will be very useful to you if you are revising for GCSEs, as most of the information we share links directly to the syllabus. If not, still plenty of interesting physics to learn anyway.
