Hannah Fry Instagram - While the way olive trees keep living is clearly great for longevity, the flip side is that it's completely rubbish for getting any sort of accurate dates or true ages. So precisely HOW old these trees are is and will always be up for debate. But OLIVE them are lovely regardless 🍈 (For example) Olive Tree-Ring Problematic Dating: A Comparative Analysis on Santorini (Greece) by P. Cherubini et al. (2013)
Hannah Fry Instagram - THE DATA DOESN'T LIE PEOPLE* This (admittedly quite heteronormative) example is taken from Dataclysm by Christian Rudder. The book is a few years old now, but a really fun read and definitely worth your time. * Sometimes it does tho okay so don't take this literally 🙏

Hannah Fry Instagram - ⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ marketing idea
Hannah Fry Instagram - My new series The Infinite Explorer, coming in early November to National Geographic (in the UK and EU) and Bloomberg Originals (in the US) took me to all sorts of amazing locations - and I couldn't resist stealing a moment while I was there to share this with you ***When I say "people" here, I mean British Victorians - who clearly thought they were the first ones to notice or "discover" anything of any importance. So when medieval structures that had been built around the Parthenon were removed in 1837, English architect John Pennethorne announced that he had 'discovered' that the base was curved. In fact, many of the peoples who followed the ancient Greeks were aware of the concept of optical refinement, and the Parthenon isn't the only building to have been built that way. But the British of that time weren't exactly known for giving any credit where credit was due... (And the people of THIS time aren't exactly known for restraint or accuracy where claims of Golden Ratios are concerned...)
Hannah Fry Instagram - I feel like 'offended dignity' is basically a cat's standard resting face. Sources: Photographs of a Tumbling Cat, by M.

Hannah Fry Instagram - The brilliant historian Greg Jenner has sent me a message to stand up for Louis in all of this, with some additional information: "He himself was born to a mother in reclining position, and he wasn't perverted or just enjoying the view - he witnessed some births to ensure the children were legitimate babies, not swapped in (inheritance law was a massive deal)" I therefore apologise unreservedly to Louis and the palace of versailles for implying that he gained any sort of satisfaction from it. 🧐 But don't take my word for it: The Evolution of Maternal Birthing Position, Lauren Dundes (1987) The Diseases of Women with Child and in Child-Bed, Francois Mauriceau (1668) (I mean, what a title 👀) And that final quote was from William Potts Dewees, the 3rd chairman of obstetrics at the University of Pennsylvania.
Hannah Fry Instagram - There’s a curiously strange phenomenon when you look at the data for the ratio of baby boys to baby girls. For a start, slightly more boys are born than girls. (A biologist told me this was evolution’s correction for the fact that little boys are more likely to get into accidents). But also, this is a ratio that changes quite dramatically over time, with some peaks in really quite notable places. And it’s not unique to Britain. Around the world, at the end of a war, there is a spike in the number of baby boys that are born.. #strange #phenomenon #data #graph #math #maths #puzzle
Hannah Fry Instagram - It is literally roasting down there
Hannah Fry Instagram - A live AB test! Took the music off to see if it sorts the audio issues some people are having The story comes from Donald Rethke (aka Dr. Flush) the engineer who worked on the life support system designs for the Apollo missions. Michael Collins (Apollo 11) also mentions it in his book, but by his time the sizes were referred to as "extra large, immense, and unbelievable" - seems even astronauts need an ego boost from time to time!

Where the dressmaker fails, the retoucher steps in"
Hannah Fry Instagram - Q:How do YOU f-eel about the eel? Eel-ated? Or not at all id-eel? (The correct answer is clearly that they are horrid - but I couldn't find a pun that worked) A new solution to the Atlantic Eel Problem, by D.W. Tucker (1959)

Hannah Fry Instagram - Don't get me wrong - even though you only have to be a little bit better than your opponent, you have to maintain that little bit for hours upon hours, while also overcoming the mental torture of an emotional rollercoaster. The players at the top of their game are hugely impressive - even if the margins of difference between them are fascinatingly small.
Hannah Fry Instagram - Also, studies into fracture mechanics (the way a crack releases the built-up tension in the material) found that the stress in the contracting rock is most efficiently relieved by three fractures meeting at 120 degree angles. So while the initial cracks are all over the place, they eventually settle into the path of least resistance - hexagons. Why Hexagonal Basalt Columns? by M Hofmann, R Anderssohn, H-A Bahr, H-J Weiss, and J Nellesen (2015)

Hannah Fry Instagram - Just after the financial crisis, an influential paper called “Growth in a time of debt” was published, in which two Harvard profs used data to show that high levels of debt hurt a nations economic growth. The paper was cited at the G20, referenced by George Osborne and Paul Ryan and used as a justification for the global austerity movement. Except.. the conclusions were based on a pretty important spreadsheet error. #data #austerity #politics #excel #hannahfry
Hannah Fry Instagram - This is my wonderful dad - the last of the Frys - who finally left us a few days ago. I don't know if you can tell from the photos, but my dad was so British. He liked only fools and horses and pebble beaches and food without any flavour, like bread and butter pudding and gammon egg and chips. He spent his childhood hiding from the blitz in a cage under his kitchen table, and from teachers and policemen while playing truant from school. His youth, he spent covered in motorbike grease and oil, spray painting cars against a soundtrack of Pink Floyd. And his adulthood surrounded by women - an entire dynasty of female only descendants. Alzheimer's isn't the disease people like to pretend it is. It isn't about losing your keys and thinking you're in your childhood again. It's so, so much crueller and more horrifying than that. But i remember him before, when my dad was smarter than at least half of the professors I've ever met, and more capable at building things and fixing things and inventing things than practically anyone. He was a man's man in the quietest possible way. Not a big drinker or partier, he didn't demand attention or make himself known. But when he had something to say, it would be razor sharp, insightful, and delivered with devastating precision. My friends called him the conversational samuri. He'd been born in the days when polio routinely robbed young men and women of their prospects. So he left school with no qualifications and ended up trapped in a blue collar job, fitting hydraulic lifts on trucks for decade after decade. Some would say it was a waste of his talent. I would say it was a waste of his joy. He came alive again once he retired. And then we had nearly fifteen years of unrelenting mischief before the Alzheimer's took hold. Building rockets and forts and fires and dolls houses and rocking horses, watching fast cars and playing pranks and hiding and seeking and laughing and teasing and I loved every single minute of it. Goodbye dad, i had so much fun with you x 💔

Hannah Fry Instagram - The study I'm referring to was 10 years ago now, but it confirmed an even earlier study that had the same result. Interpretation of diagnostic test results is so important, but SO easily misunderstood, even by those that rely on them most. And even small misunderstandings can have a big impact on our personal medical decisions. There is uncertainty in every aspect of medical care, we need to be comfortable with that, but the more informed we all are about what the numbers actually mean (and what they don't), the more empowered our decisions can be.

It's been replicated many times over but if you want to read the original: Attachment, exploration, and separation: Illustrated by the behavior of one-year-olds in a strange situation by M.D.S.

Hannah Fry Instagram - This idea for this (admittedly quite heteronormative) study came when the scientist, James Coan, was studying brain function of those suffering from PTSD. One war veteran was really struggling with the MRI machine and asked if his wife could be present. When he started getting agitated, his wife held his hand and his brain calmed down.❤️❤️ So it’s not just women who benefit from hand holding sometimes. Even big strong men too. 💪 Here’s the original study: Lending a Hand: Social Regulation of the Neural Response to Threat. James A. Coan, Hillary S. Schaefer, and Richard J. Davidson The replication study: Relationship status and perceived support in the social regulation of neural responses to threat.

So when medieval structures that had been built around the Parthenon were removed in 1837, English architect John Pennethorne announced that he had 'discovered' that the base was curved. In fact, many of the peoples who followed the ancient Greeks were aware of the concept of optical refinement, and the Parthenon isn't the only building to have been built that way. But the British of that time weren't exactly known for giving any credit where credit was due...

For a start, slightly more boys are born than girls. (A biologist told me this was evolution’s correction for the fact that little boys are more likely to get into accidents). But also, this is a ratio that changes quite dramatically over time, with some peaks in really quite notable places. And it’s not unique to Britain. Around the world, at the end of a war, there is a spike in the number of baby boys that are born.. #strange #phenomenon #data #graph #math #maths #puzzle

He liked only fools and horses and pebble beaches and food without any flavour, like bread and butter pudding and gammon egg and chips. He spent his childhood hiding from the blitz in a cage under his kitchen table, and from teachers and policemen while playing truant from school. His youth, he spent covered in motorbike grease and oil, spray painting cars against a soundtrack of Pink Floyd. And his adulthood surrounded by women - an entire dynasty of female only descendants. Alzheimer's isn't the disease people like to pretend it is. It isn't about losing your keys and thinking you're in your childhood again. It's so, so much crueller and more horrifying than that. But i remember him before, when my dad was smarter than at least half of the professors I've ever met, and more capable at building things and fixing things and inventing things than practically anyone. He was a man's man in the quietest possible way. Not a big drinker or partier, he didn't demand attention or make himself known. But when he had something to say, it would be razor sharp, insightful, and delivered with devastating precision. My friends called him the conversational samuri. He'd been born in the days when polio routinely robbed young men and women of their prospects. So he left school with no qualifications and ended up trapped in a blue collar job, fitting hydraulic lifts on trucks for decade after decade. Some would say it was a waste of his talent. I would say it was a waste of his joy. He came alive again once he retired. And then we had nearly fifteen years of unrelenting mischief before the Alzheimer's took hold. Building rockets and forts and fires and dolls houses and rocking horses, watching fast cars and playing pranks and hiding and seeking and laughing and teasing and I loved every single minute of it. Goodbye dad, i had so much fun with you x 💔

Interpretation of diagnostic test results is so important, but SO easily misunderstood, even by those that rely on them most. And even small misunderstandings can have a big impact on our personal medical decisions. There is uncertainty in every aspect of medical care, we need to be comfortable with that, but the more informed we all are about what the numbers actually mean (and what they don't), the more empowered our decisions can be.
