Episode #234
After nearly seven years and more than 200 episodes, this is where I say goodbye to Math! Science! History! . The podcast began with my book Hypatia: The Sum of Her Life and grew into something far beyond what I...
René Descartes is famous for Cogito, ergo sum and his revolutionary approach to philosophy and mathematics. But he also left behind a mysterious 16-page manuscript written in code. In this episode, we uncover the story...
Scientists have officially identified a new wild cat species in Bolivia and a new snake species from New Guinea—and one of them is named after Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash. But these discoveries are about much more...
GH Hardy was a character. He had qualities that were odd, yet endearing. He was a rigorous mathematician. Yet, when he received a letter from Srinivasa Ramanujan, he changed. He learned a new way of equating...
In this episode of Math, Science, History , host Gabrielle Birchak does a repost about Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, a 19-year-old prodigy whose curiosity during a two-week sea voyage in 1930 led to a groundbreaking...
Episode #229
What happens when women gather? Throughout the eighteenth century, women across Europe began creating intellectual communities where they could discuss science, mathematics, philosophy, politics, literature, and...
Your job is what you do, not who you are - and that distinction could change your life. Gabrielle Birchak spotlights the astonishing story of Paul Tannery, a daytime engineer in the French tobacco administration whose...
Episode #266
In this episode of Momentum Monday , I cover how the ancient mathematician Diophantus , who revolutionized problem-solving by focusing on relationships between numbers , can inspire us to rethink our own relationships...
Episode #225
AI may verify proofs, but it can't replace curiosity. In this episode, I travel back nearly 1,800 years to meet Diophantus of Alexandria and explore how his approach to mathematics still shapes modern problem-solving...
Can mathematics be patented? In this episode, I explore one of the most fascinating questions in mathematics, intellectual property, and computer science by tracing the history of patents from the ancient world to...
You don't have to be a famous chemist to think like one. This week, I share three "flashcards" inspired by John Dalton that reveal how you're already using the same habits of observation, organization, and intellectual...
Success doesn't begin with talent, it begins with the habits you practice when no one is watching. This week, I share three powerful life lessons from chemist John Dalton that can help you build momentum, overcome...
I'm revisiting one of my first episodes: the story of John Dalton, the self-taught Quaker schoolteacher who never attended university yet gave modern atomic theory its first real momentum. Barred from English...
Episode #220
Your instinct to question evidence, challenge "the way things are," and fall in love with a hard problem isn't a personality quirk; it's the exact thinking that built modern science, anthropology, and mathematics. In...
The fastest way to solve your toughest problem isn't to grind harder on it, it's to rotate your focus across a few problems at once, the way legendary mathematician Paul Erdős juggled hundreds of unsolved problems at a...
Episode #218
For Pride Month, I profile eight scientists across eight identities in the 2SLGBTQI+ community. From the equations underpinning modern physics to the brain cells once dismissed as filler tissue, these researchers shaped...
Episode #214
In this Earth Day week special of Flashcards Friday , we explore the growing environmental impact of artificial intelligence and digital technology. While AI is revolutionizing our world, it comes with a hidden cost...
Episode #213
In this Earth Day episode, I pull back the curtain on the hidden environmental cost of our digital lives. From streaming videos and sending emails to the explosive growth of artificial intelligence, I explore how the...
Episode #212
In this Earth Day Week episode, I explore how momentum , whether in social movements, politics, or personal relationships, starts with communication, not agreement. Drawing from the origins of the first Earth Day, I...
Episode #211
Today's episode explores how you can intentionally build a meaningful legacy by learning from Rosalind Franklin, the scientist whose meticulous work uncovered the DNA double helix. Listeners will discover why precision...
