Maths at: Contact

Maths at... proudly* sponsored by Prof. Elizabeth Baldwin! 

*we have no idea of how proud she is.

Care to sponsor an episode? It'll cost you 77p!

Sorry about the quality of Thomas' microphone, he had trouble recording. Won't happen again (until the next).



This week we watched Contact and are joined, once again, by

Dr William Taylor 

His enthusiasm is so infectious! So whilst he tried to educate us, we try to divert his attention with such discussion points as:

• Spice girls! A very strong start?
• We didn't do the "you can't be Sirius Joke!" (Although I did, but no-one laughed so I cut it. But feel free to add it back in... you'll know when).
• Jane Fonda, or Jodie Foster?

Thomas is tired, Liz is Pregnant and Ben can't find his mass, can you find it?

 

If you're interested in watching Contact you can follow the Amazon link below.
