The big news story of 2024 that literally no one is talking about 🐛 #2024 #circada #primenumbers #math #maths
There’s a curiously strange phenomenon when you look at the data for the ratio of baby boys to baby girls. For a start, slightly more boys are born than girls. (A biologist told me this was evolution’s correction for the fact that little boys are more likely to get into accidents). But also, this is a ratio that changes quite dramatically over time, with some peaks in really quite notable places. And it’s not unique to Britain. Around the world, at the end of a war, there is a spike in the number of baby boys that are born.. #strange #phenomenon #data #graph #math #maths #puzzle
Just after the financial crisis, an influential paper called “Growth in a time of debt” was published, in which two Harvard profs used data to show that high levels of debt hurt a nations economic growth. The paper was cited at the G20, referenced by George Osborne and Paul Ryan and used as a justification for the global austerity movement. Except.. the conclusions were based on a pretty important spreadsheet error. #data #austerity #politics #excel #hannahfry

A prophecy from the 1950s that came true. (Kind of). #future #science #prediction #hanmahfry
So Groot was actually based on a real life boy elephant seal, huh. #nature #seal #fact #science #funny #boys #hannahfry
So remember how daytime tv shows used to use cringingly literal audio choices? Like someone says they’re a music teacher, so they show shots of their instruments while playing Pianoman, or whatever. Anyway, turns out that’s the kind of videos I make now. 🤣
Behind the scenes of piglet production 🐽🌾 (Don’t ask me what happened to the colour on this one I was having a bad day 🙈) #pigs #science #hannahfry #farming
Back hosting have I got news for you tonight – and I took exactly zero pictures this time. So you’ll have to make do with the actual show itself, tonight 9pm, BBC1. Enjoy! 🌟🌟 Ps I’ve been using one of them lash serums and I’m pleased to say the non stop three months of itchy eyelids has totally paid off. Causing a hurricane in the South Pacific now every time I blink 💅🏻 #hannahfry
The chances of having a baby boy or a girl subtly change depending on when in the cycle you conceive* AND IT TURNS OUT THE SAME IS TRUE FOR COWS 🐄 #data #math #maths #farming #fitbit #babies #meme #cowsofinstagram #science #animals #farmer * the theories for why this might be the case revolve around the subtle hormone and acidity changes in the female at different times in the cycle favouring certain sperm over others.
Didn’t your mum ever tell you not to put shoes on the table? #hack #math #maths #hannahfry
My sisters think they’re sooooo funny. #sisters #secretsanta
Rumours are once you boot it up it’s still running Windows XP. #imjoking! #quantum #quantumcomputing #thefuture #hannahfry
Rumours are there’s a Brian Cox wig that runners wear to do his walking shots when he’s not around 💅🏻 #secretgenius #behindthescenes

So many suits, such little time ❤️ Happy new year everyone xx (And in 2024 I promise to learn how to do colour correction on my videos properly 😬) #2023 #2024 #newyear #happynewyear
Can’t work out if this will mean I see less of these same videos now OR MORE 🎄#snowglobe #christmas
Also strongly recommend flying without small children if you want any sleep at all 😅
