Excited to go through math candidates on the list, others too. Equally important, discuss edits/modifications to the 13 episodes (cutting blahs), expanding math episodes - see below. Assuming we expand math episodes, we will need more mathematicians. How’s late afternoon after 5:30 pm / early evening today? - or weekend, day/times? (Family issues today - mother 102 in May.) RADICAL BREAKTHROUGHS - Initial Revisions (working model for discussion, red is new) Expand and Modify Mathematical Breakthrough episodes 1. Mathematics and Truth / Overview / Show Excitement/Importance 2. Mathematical Fields / Diverse New Kinds and Categories 3. How Math Works in Disparate Areas of Knowledge (from fundamental physics to chemistry, biology [molecular and evolutionary|, psychology, sociology, economics, etc.) 4. Power Laws 5. Mathematical Biology 6. Foundations of Mathematics / Philosophy/Meaning of Math (discovered/invented?) ADD/Exchange to Biological Breakthrough episodes 9/10. Replicability Crisis - Problems in Statistics in Search for Truth. Deep problems of replicability in biomedical and psychological research - the scandal in recent years. HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_029150
