If you need reminding why maths and statistics are fun and fundamental to all areas of science, look no further!

Our guest this episode, Professor Ruth King, uses statistics to understand populations where it’s impossible to count every single individual. She explains how similar mathematical tools can help fill in the blanks regardless of missing data points, across vastly different contexts. Find out how monitoring populations of rare and endangered animals can develop methods that also help us better understand human social issues, like improving policies to help people who inject drugs.
