Flash Forward is a show about possible (and not so possible) future scenarios. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn’t lie? Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.) Hosted and produced by award winning science journalist Rose Eveleth, each episode combines audio drama and journalism to go deep on potential tomorrows, and uncovers what those futures might re ...

🔎 Episode Overview In this episode of Math, Science, History , we explore one of the most quietly powerful forces in American democracy: gerrymandering. From its origin over 200 years ago to its impact on today’s elections, gerrymandering is both a political weapon and a mathematical puzzle. We break down the mathematical principles used to detect gerrymandering, explore real court cases in Southern states, and examine how computer science and voter data are used to both draw and fight unfair districts. You’ll also learn how other countries handle redistricting—and what the U.S. can learn from them. Whether you're a math geek, a science lover, or just a concerned citizen, this episode gives you practical tools and knowledge to take action against one of the most manipulative practices in modern politics. ✅ 3 Things You Can Do to Stop Gerrymandering - Support Independent Redistricting Commissions Advocate for fair districting in your state by supporting or starting initiatives to create nonpartisan redistricting commissions. - Use Data Tools to Analyze Your District Explore your voting maps using free tools like Dave’s Redistricting App or PlanScore to see if your district is gerrymandered—and share your findings with your community. - Vote in State and Local Elections Remember, state legislators often control the redistricting process. Voting in state and judicial elections is one of the most powerful ways to influence how future maps are drawn. 📚 Resources to Learn More About Gerrymandering 🧠 Educational & Research-Based Brennan Center for Justice – Redistricting & Gerrymandering In-depth articles, research, and legal updates on redistricting and voting rights. Princeton Gerrymandering Project Offers tools, research, and nonpartisan analysis for creating and evaluating fair district maps. FiveThirtyEight’s Gerrymandering Explainers Data journalism and interactive pieces exploring how gerrymandering affects elections. 🛠️ Tools for Public Use Dave’s Redistricting App A powerful tool for citizens to draw, analyze, and compare congressional and state maps. PlanScore Provides a scoring system to evaluate gerrymandering in district maps based on real election data. 📖 Books Ratf**ked: The True Story Behind the Secret Plan to Steal America's Democracy by David Daley An investigative look into how gerrymandering has shaped U.S. politics post-2010. Drawing the Lines: Constraints on Partisan Gerrymandering in U.S. Politics by Nicholas R.

From her early days learning plumbing alongside her father to becoming the head of Baumbach Plumbers, Lillian’s journey was one of perseverance, skill, and leadership. Her legacy not only paved the way for women in the trades but also serves as a powerful reminder that passion and expertise matter more than outdated stereotypes. In this episode, we discuss three major lessons we can take from her story—breaking barriers, following passion over stereotypes, and creating opportunities by challenging norms. Whether you’re pursuing a career in STEM, trades, business, or leadership, Lillian’s journey proves that no field is off-limits. 🧠 What You’ll Learn: ✔️ Break Barriers in Any Industry ✔️ Follow Passion Over Stereotypes ✔️ Create Opportunities by Challenging Norms 🏛 Links & Resources: Women in Plumbing & Piping (WiPP) – wipp.org (A network supporting women in the plumbing industry) The National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) – nawic.org (Support and scholarships for women in construction and trades) The United Association (UA) – Plumbers & Pipefitters Apprenticeships – uanet.org Fix a Leak Week Resources – epa.gov/watersense (EPA resources for water conservation and leak repair) 📢 📢 📢 Check out the podcast Etymoleon –Word History, the etymology podcast: https://etymoleon.com 🔗 Explore more on our website: mathsciencehistory.com 📚 To buy my book Hypatia: The Sum of Her Life on Amazon, visit https://a.co/d/g3OuP9h 🎧 Enjoying the Podcast?

She believed that by providing education to young girls and women, we could let go of social opinions and develop human potential.

Hypatia was one of the first female mathematicians that we know of. Her accomplishments were many. She was a valued Alexandrian teacher who taught mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy. She was a government advisor and was respected by leader all across the Roman Empire. Unfortunately, her death overshadows the sum of her incredible life. In this podcast, I read the first chapter of my book titled Hypatia: The Sum of Her Life!
