Math is Actually Fun with Nick Battista and Matt Mizuhara
18/03/2019 Duration: 39minDr. Matt Mizuhara is an assistant professor of mathematics at The College of New Jersey. He specializes in applied mathematics and mathematical biology. His work combines rigorous theory and numerical simulations to study synchronization and pattern formation in biological systems. For example, certain species of fireflies spontaneously synchronize their light flashes. Using mathematical models Matt can investigate how this synchronization occurs and what minimal mechanisms allow such order to emerge. Dr. Nick Battista is an assistant professor of mathematics at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ). He is an applied mathematician specializing in the mathematical modeling of biological systems using a variety of techniques, including numerical simulation and physical and/or organismal experiments. Nick works on a variety of problems in biomechanics, from heart development to aquatic locomotion to collective behavior, produces open-source fluid dynamics software for the scientific community, and investigates ways

Astrophysics with Athena Brensberger
15/03/2019 Duration: 54min"Life sometimes gives you a path that you have to just go with and find the beauty in it. And this is how I found myself. I currently am a science communicator and an international model. I spent years studying astrophysics because it begins to define us and who we are in our place in the universe. But I learned that communicating science and space to people around the world is what my calling was. I am a science host on YouTube channels like Astroathens, which I created and Seeker from the Discover Channel and the TMRO show. Explaining science through television is so much fun and you get to experiment with all the fun ways one can translate very complicated science topics and concepts to the rest of the world that may not know too much about science! When I was a researcher in Astrophysics my focus was on Proto-planetary disks (PROPLYDS) and low mass stars formations."- Athena Brensberger
