You may remember that we planned to make films about our collaborations, whether within Oxford Mathematics, or with the wider mathematical community, or with other disciplines in Oxford and beyond.
Here is the first example, a story of the biggest (and smelliest) flower in the world. This is the long version. A shorter version went out on our social media.
And please contact Dyrol if you think your collaborative work would make a good film.

Did you know that nearly 40 early career researchers in the department actively play a musical instrument? If you haven't told us yet about your extra-mathematical talents, especially faculty, please let Dyrol know which instrument you play. We may (may) do a feature next term on maths and music. You know, get a band together, that sort of thing.

If you haven't been watching our mathematicians playing with their toys on social media, you can now watch the first compilation via YouTube. The films seemed to have worked well, not least because they strike a balance between entertainment and education which can sound patronising, but which is where social media can work.
Still time to tell us about your toys...
