For June's Girl Geek Tea Party, we're getting a visit from mathematician and awesome human Hannah Fry, who is a lecturer in the Mathematics of Cities at the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis at UCL. Her research applies to a wide range of social problems and questions, from shopping and transport to urban crime, riots and terrorism. She's recently appeared on TV in documentary Climate Change By Numbers, and her TEDx book The Mathematics of Love was out earlier this year.
She'll be coming to give a talk about some cool maths (title: 'Hidden Connections'), and hang around for Q&A, alongside our usual tea, coffee and cake-fest. We'll be at MMU's exciting digital innovation hub, The Shed (entrance on Chester Street), which is fully accessible. If you have any questions, please email manchestergirlgeeks@gmail.com.
