  • REPOST: Dr. Charles Drew's Blood Mobiles
    Feb 4 2025

    This is a repost about Dr. Charles Drew from spring of 2020, and it is still timely, especially today. Even after Dr. Drew’s passing, his name lived on. His home was designated as a National Historic Landmark. The United States Postal Service honored him, schools have been named after him, and a United States Navy ship has been named after him. Also, in 2002, he was listed as one of the 100 greatest African Americans. The details are all in the podcast! Visit me at www.MathScienceHistory.com ! And while you're there, please feel free to buy me a cup of coffee!

  • Fibonacci and His Lovin' Lagomorphs
    Jan 28 2025

    Rabbits are known for their breeding expertise. And the mathematician Fibonacci utilized that knowledge to create a thought experiment that led to a sequence of numbers that we refer to as the Fibonacci Sequence. This sequence can also be drawn into a curve that we see in nature and within our DNA. Yes, we are all mathematically connected!

  • REPOST: Happy Earth Day
    Jan 15 2025

    Due to the L.A. fires, I am reposting an older podcast about the history of Earth Day. It is sad to note that in my intro, you will hear alarming sirens in the background, which juxtaposes the beautiful sound of the birds chirping in the reposted podcast I recorded five years ago.

    If you want to donate to help those affected by the L.A. fires, I have several links on my Website at www.MathScienceHistory.com. Thank you so much for your contribution and help!
