Math! Science! History!

🔎 Episode Overview

Step into the future for a special Earth Day broadcast unlike any other. From rising seas in Bangladesh to the climate-solidarity corridors of Cascadia, this immersive episode of Math, Science, History explores the realities of our changing planet, told as if the year is 2050.

You’ll hear breaking climate reports from around the globe, fictional interviews with future experts, and a closing message that brings us back to the present, reminding us that the future is not yet written, and that there’s still time to shape it.

🧠 What You’ll Learn:

Climate migration is already happening—by 2050, hundreds of millions may be displaced, but how we respond now determines what kind of world they move into.

Not all nations will follow the same path—Canada, in this imagined future, became a global beacon of justice, cooperation, and climate leadership. It's a reminder that bold, humane action is possible.

Your voice matters—climate change isn’t only about science. It’s about justice, storytelling, memory, and imagination. The future will reflect the values we fight for today.

In 1870 Matilda Joslyn Gage published her tract "Woman as Inventor." This pamphlet listed many women in science who went unnoticed while their male counterparts received accolades. Even this year, not one woman received a Nobel in science or medicine. This podcast names the many women who deserved scientific accolades for their contributions to science. And, it lists several things we can do to fix the Matilda Effect!

Euclid's Elements is considered one of the most foundational bodies of work in the field of mathematics. Written around 300 BCE (over 2,000 YEARS AGO!), it was a textbook that provided students the opportunity to learn most of the theories and propositions written at that time. However, even though it was groundbreaking, there was already a history of math that preceded this book, as you will find out.
