    FLASHCARDS! Think Clearly Under Pressure
    2026/02/13
    Ever lose a great idea right when you need it, then wish your brain had a "save" button? This episode gives you one. In this Flashcards Friday toolkit, I share three quick prompts you can use to think more clearly, learn faster, and troubleshoot problems without spiraling. You will leave with a simple loop you can apply to school, work, and real-life conversations. What You'll Learn The System Card: How to name the system, the key variables, and the constraints, so your thinking has structure.The Cold Recall Card: How to practice producing your message without notes, especially for presentations, interviews, and asking for a raise.The Fuzzy Spot Card: How to troubleshoot like an engineer by locating the exact point things break, then making the smallest repair that changes the outcome.

  • Victorian Thought Photography

    Victorian Thought Photography
    2026/02/10
    A camera was not always needed to "capture" a thought. In the late Victorian era, a few experimenters pressed photographic plates to foreheads and claimed the developed marks were images of the mind. In this episode of Math! Science! History!, we trace the strange rise of "thought photography," why it sounded plausible in an age of new invisible forces, and what these experiments reveal about technology, interpretation, and scientific method. What Develops in the Dark What you'll learn in this episode: 1. Who tried to photograph thoughts - How Hippolyte Baraduc and Louis Darget used photographic plates as instruments, then read the resulting traces as evidence of emotion, soul, or mental imagery. 2. Why the idea felt scientific at the time - How late-19th-century discoveries made invisible phenomena feel newly recordable, especially after X-rays reshaped what "photography" could mean. 3. What can go wrong (and right!) when images look like proof - Why noisy signals, chemical artifacts, and human pattern-finding can produce results that feel conclusive long before they are.

  • FLASHCARDS! Talking to Science Skeptics

    FLASHCARDS! Talking to Science Skeptics
    2026/02/06

    What do you say when someone doesn't trust science?
    In this Flashcards Friday episode, I share practical, evidence-based ways to talk about science with skeptics, without attacking, shaming, or arguing past each other.

    This episode focuses on how evidence actually works, why people reject scientific claims, and how scientists and science communicators can lower defensiveness by explaining methods, uncertainty, and values clearly. If you care about public trust in science, this episode offers tools you can use immediately.
