The people who are in favour of AI, are you really okay with the bit where they make an AI 'actress' who basically fulfills their misogynistic fantasies of how women should look and behave? I don't think we get to pick and choose if we support this stuff do we?

Dame Jane Goodall revolutionised our understanding of our closest primate cousins

Those she inspired say she not only revolutionised our understanding of chimpanzees - but challenged how we relate to the natural world.

Super. Please update us at the end. I'd be interested in hearing how the scientists and their work are portrayed in the novels. The Jurassic Park books do a good job at describing maths and how it's more enticing to visit a dangerous island to certain death than it is to keep applying for grants :P

Great question! I read some of them. Sometimes they bring clarity to some character actions, but that points more towards weak filmmaking IMO. How’s the Godzilla faring?

At lunch I found @danielcooney1.bsky.social, who's been diligently sharing all @smbmathbiology.bsky.social related posts. Unsurprisingly, during his episode, we discussed using social media to talk science, and his use of game theory in his work:
