“I love Hannah Fry and am very much looking forward to more of this podcast. That said, I go in aware that she is subject to a few logical fallacies, such as the false dichotomy. In the introductory episode she mentions that the original observation that, after wars, we tend to see a spike in male birth, was chalked up to God helping restore the ideal ratio of males to females. She then dismisses this notion because, well, there’s a scientific explanation. The idea that a god might be the creator of science never occurs to her. God=not science Science=not god In fact, there are a fairly sizable number of religious people who believe in science. My uncle, David A Johnson, professor of Genetics, Cellular & Molecular Biology, and Experimental Genetics at Concordia College, William Jewel College, Emory University, Seinan Gakuin University, and Samford University, where he also held the Chair of the Department of Biological & Environmental Sciences before retiring, was also an ordained minister and spent 25 years in Japan (while teaching evolutionary biology at Seinan Gakuin) as a Christian missionary. The superfluous opinion bits about religion are unnecessary. Just report the science and leave off speculation on topics you don’t know. Perhaps a god built this feature into the human reproductive system.”

“This is a brilliant programme.
The story behind the story is way more interesting than the headlines. Showing why evidence is important and how it can be used.
And why creative thinkers are so important when reviewing evidence.”

“Professor Fry possesses the unique ability to weave life and mathematics into a beautiful tapestry (or is that graphestry?)
Perfectly paced and thoughtfully edited.
Topped off with Hannah’s silky smooth voice, this is the best podcast since Curious Cases 😁”

“I am not good with numbers, charts and analytics, but professor Hanna Fry explains everything in an engaging and interesting way. It’s easy to understand and it makes me want to dig into the topics more!”
