About this listen

 Carry the Two pulls back the curtain to reveal the mathematical and statistical gears that turn the world. We’re the show for people who enjoy discovering hidden elements that impact our lives in the most unexpected ways, and math is certainly one of those! We are a curiosity-driven podcast that looks to find unique perspectives from the fields of mathematics and statistics. We use stories to convey how mathematical research drives the world around us, with each episode tackling a different topic. This can be anything from modeling how bees in a swarm make group decisions to how we can use textual analysis to reveal surprising changes in policy documents. You can also find Carry the Two on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Google Play, and Spotify. Carry the Two is hosted by Sadie Witkowski and Ian Martin. Audio production by Tyler Damme. Music is from Blue Dot Sessions.© 2022 IMSI Mathematics Science

    Lars Peter Hansen on Uncertainties in the Age of Climate Change
    May 1 2025

    Welcome to Carry the Two, the podcast about how math and statistics impact the world around us from the Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Innovation. While we’re in between our more in-depth seasons, we like to bring you something a little different in mini-season format. And for this mini season, we are going to highlight some of the amazing researchers who have presented at IMSI over the past year. Our sixth, and final, guest is Lars Peter Hansen. Lars is the 2013 recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics and a Professor at the University of Chicago with appointments at the Economics Department, the Booth School of Business, as well as the Statistics Department.. Lars joined us at IMSI for a workshop on Economic Impacts of Climate Change where he presented a talk titled: How should Climate Change Uncertainty Impact Social Valuation and Policy? Host Sam Hansen joined Lars for a conversation about the research in his talk and Lars’s time at IMSI.

    Welcome to Carry the Two, the podcast about how math and statistics impact the world around us from the Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Innovation. While we’re in between our more in-depth seasons, we like to bring you something a little different in mini-season format. And for this mini season, we are going to highlight some of the amazing researchers who have presented at IMSI over the past year. Our fifth guest is Rose Yu. Rose is an associate professor in the computer science department of UC San Diego, and is also affiliated with the Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute. Rose joined us at IMSI for a workshop on Learning Collective Variables and Coarse Grained Models where she presented a talk titled Automatic Symmetry Discovery from Data. Host Sam Hansen joined Rose for a conversation about the research in her talk and Rose’s time at IMSI.

    Welcome to Carry the Two, the podcast about how math and statistics impact the world around us from the Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Innovation. While we’re in between our more in-depth seasons, we like to bring you something a little different in mini-season format. And for this mini season, we are going to highlight some of the amazing researchers who have presented at IMSI over the past year. Our fourth guest isKunal Marwaha, a PhD student at the University of Chicago studying quantum computing. Kunal joined us at IMSI for a workshop on The Power of Near-Term Quantum Experiments where he presented a talk titled On the promise of quantum advantage for classical optimization. So, without further ado let’s get into my conversation with Kunal Marwaha. Host Sam Hansen joined Kunal for a conversation about the research in his talk and Kunal’s time at IMSI.
