[@ItsJennNotJenny]

This was me. I had so much anxiety in school from having partial hearing loss to being severely bullied that I literally thought I was stupid and would never get the material. Fast forward to having a kid and going back to college taking a remedial class at 28 yo, I got the material and realized I was never stupid at all. What a weight that was lifted! I also realized I enjoyed problem solving when that light bulb moment happens. It's pretty healing actually to the teenage version of myself to show myself I can do those things I thought I couldn't. I also had some not so great teacher who weren't so compassionate so that didn't help lol hope you realize you're a smart person!

[@florarmendariz1366]

This is so true. I was sick and missed long division lessons in 4th grade. Later in 6th grade we got to a lesson that required long division and I didn't do well. I ended up being removed from my advanced math to a regular one. Anytime long division was required in highschool my scores were terrible. I was too embarrassed to tell them I didn't know long division. I think I ended up learning it on my own but like they said. It takes repetition and by the time I learned it it ,it was assumed that I had learned it long ago so I never got to practice with repetition. I still can't do long division. I'd have to Google how to.

I just wish it was taught in a better way. I hate math because of how it was taught, how we had no room to make mistakes. The only time I ever did well was with a teacher who told us there are no stupid questions and was there every recess, lunch and after school to help us. I went to her and she was so patient. Listening to Hannah made me cry. I needed someone like her as a student

She reminds me so much of my math teacher my senior year of high school, just based on the passion. I don't think my teacher really wanted me to memorize the equations, she just wanted me to find some peace in math; which she did give me. It was my hardest subject, but she pulled all the stops so I could graduate with the rest of my class and I'll be forever grateful to her. People with this level of passion in math should be treasured even if we don't like the subject much ❤

Will be listening to this again to ensure I didn’t miss anything!

[@vickyzalez7]

Dr. Mike, I think Hannah was a great person to interview and her personal experiences with the healthcare system speaks volumes. We need more patient advocacy and for our healthcare systems to allow patients to see their PCP for longer than 15 minutes per visit. How can a patient ever build up trust with their PCP with such a short visit?

[@UncleKennysPlace]

What is more important: that you trust your PCP, or that your PCP makes correct diagnoses and recommendations?

[@abby_unhinged]

I completely understand her analogy of journeying through vines to discover something beautiful that was already there. I took Math Theory in college (purely logic equations, no numbers) and I struggled and worked so hard, finally, it clicked, and it was amazing. It's a combination of the scientific method, creativity, and reasoning. Set me up perfectly for when I changed to a Poli Sci (pre-law) major and had to analyze cases and arguments. Long story short: Things are more connected than they seem sometimes, and it can be like going on an adventure. I loved this conversation so much!

[@mayurim9839]

I watched Dr Hannah's documentary on BBC Iplayer about her journey with cervical cancer and it was so interesting to hear this follow up interview where her thoughts were directly addressed by Dr Mike. After watching the documentary, it did leave me feeling uncomfortable about how much uncertainty there is with regards to treatment, so it was reassuring to hear this conversation. It would be cool to see more of these topics addressed in the future and maybe how medical statisticians could play a bigger role in science communication (or even have a direct role in population patient care). Thank you Dr Hannah and Dr Mike!

I don't know whether you have explored the possibility that this may be part of a wider neurological condition? If we are labelling, ADHD can often exhibit as either dyslexia or discalculia.

Math always made me feel stupid and I struggled with it a lot until I had a tutor that knew how to teach me, specifically. That was more algebra if anything and then I went on to take statistics for my bachelors degree and I picked that up quick. The reason being that I was in love with science and statistics was necessary to read research data. That professor was also very helpful in taking time through zoom to teach me the way I needed to be taught. So I definitely agree the person learning math has to have some practical motivation.

[@Porscha314]

I'm only 7 minutes in, but what Hannah said about loving or hating math is so true. I'm a high school teacher with an undergrad in mathematics. I work with special education students but do deal with general education students as well. There are so many factors that get in the way of learning math. A lot of it is that if they miss a lesson here or there, they start to fall behind and then it just ends up being this cycle of never catching up and being seen as bad at it and then hating it. I think sometimes, other people can influence kids. When trying to find help and being told "oh I can't help, I'm no good at math." It probably makes them want to give up. I remember in undergrad, people in the program that were wanting to be elementary teachers would mention how much they disliked math or how bad they were at it. I could see that rubbing off on kids. It's a struggle. I feel like my siblings and I got lucky. My brother and I, in particular, are pretty good at math. My brother taught our nephew about negative numbers 2 or 3 years ago, and the kid is currently only 8. My best friend's youngest, who is only 9, loves math class, so I worked with her once when I was visiting and taught her some tricks. I'm also not a fan of the education system in general in the US. It really does need an overhaul.

I'm currently a university student studying genetics, hoping to get into clinical medicine someday. It was 2018 or 19, sometime before Covid, I met Dr Fry in person at a maths event for secondary school students, I was in Year 12 (for Americans, junior year of high school). She talked about prime numbers and prime triangles, it was fascinating, and really made many of my classmates go into STEM, including myself. Genetics requires a lot of statistics, and I like the practical way that maths can be incorporated into many different scenarios. Back in my first years of high school, my teacher literally used jaywalking as a way to teach us the triangle inequalities, and it was one of the most memorable maths lessons to this day. And that thing about the paradox of choice, it reminds me of something I learnt on designing menus for food tech class, where higher end restaurants have less choice than places like McDonald's, where everything's laid out in front of you. Overall, great episode, and I can't wait for more cerebral-ly episodes like this. Recommending the movie "The Man From Earth" if you're interested in what it'll be like to immortal.

Enjoyed it the podcast a lot, you guys are a joy to listen to! Just to provide a different perspective: Biohacking is not only about life extension, but also about helping people self-medicate when traditional medicine has failed them. For example, I have had strong recurring periods of fatigue caused by a viral infection for about a year now, and doctor's just look at my tests and say "well, everything is normal". So self-medication is my way to try to figure out what I can still do to improve my quality of life.

Plus as someone who once wrote a paper on why Bayes Theorem is my favorite theorem, I really appreciated the discussion of Bayesian statistics :)

[@hazeldecker622]

I think part of why people feel intimidated with math is that it's generally taught by people who are really good at math. It's generally true that the people who are really good at things can have more what feels like an intuitive understanding, so they don't know how to teach or help those who don't and need a different approach.

[@57thorns]

My teacher in mathematics and physics in high school (grade 10 to 12, after specialization and the obligatory nine years of primary school) put it this way the first day of the first year of three: If you want top grades in physics, you need to start now. How you do now will influence your final grades. In mathematic though, if you manage to do well on the tests at the end of the third year, you will get top grades even if you have failed here. Be warned however, to get top grades year three you need to know the contents of the first year mathematics.

To really make this argument, we should look at the common people, and whether or not they were monogamous. (And the answer there changes depending on which cultures you look at.)

This was incredible, thank you. Question ideas: What weighed you down this week? Or the opposite What got your heart racing? Something about what was sweet... thinking blood glucose level? Side thought, why do we only measure blood glucose levels and not other sugars?

She has perfectly explained why I want to become a nurse. I want the be the bridge between medicine/science and the humanity.

I've loved Hannah Fry for years. I've been a fan of Doctor Mike too. This was a great show. Very thought provoking.

I have a PCP but it is extremely difficult to get in to see her. I will try to make an appointment when I am having a problem and end up having to go to urgent care. It is very frustrating.

She is one of the most captivating and interesting (and funny!) podcast guests ive ever single too, not just on Mikes but all podcasts

I have a PhD in neuroscience (neurobiology) and a lot of people ask me medical questions. I have to say I am not that type of doctor. 😂
