Caption : The brilliant historian Greg Jenner has sent me a message to stand up for Louis in all of this, with some additional information: “He himself was born to a mother in reclining position, and he wasn’t perverted or just enjoying the view – he witnessed some births to ensure the children were legitimate babies, not swapped in (inheritance law was a massive deal)” I therefore apologise unreservedly to Louis and the palace of versailles for implying that he gained any sort of satisfaction from it. 🧐 But don’t take my word for it: The Evolution of Maternal Birthing Position, Lauren Dundes (1987) The Diseases of Women with Child and in Child-Bed, Francois Mauriceau (1668) (I mean, what a title 👀) And that final quote was from William Potts Dewees, the 3rd chairman of obstetrics at the University of Pennsylvania.Likes : 175869

Caption : 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 #puzzleLikes : 173563

Caption : 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 #hannahfryLikes : 84183

Caption : This is my wonderful dad – the last of the Frys – who finally left us a few days ago. I don’t know if you can tell from the photos, but my dad was so British. He liked only fools and horses and pebble beaches and food without any flavour, like bread and butter pudding and gammon egg and chips. He spent his childhood hiding from the blitz in a cage under his kitchen table, and from teachers and policemen while playing truant from school. His youth, he spent covered in motorbike grease and oil, spray painting cars against a soundtrack of Pink Floyd. And his adulthood surrounded by women – an entire dynasty of female only descendants. Alzheimer’s isn’t the disease people like to pretend it is. It isn’t about losing your keys and thinking you’re in your childhood again. It’s so, so much crueller and more horrifying than that. But i remember him before, when my dad was smarter than at least half of the professors I’ve ever met, and more capable at building things and fixing things and inventing things than practically anyone. He was a man’s man in the quietest possible way. Not a big drinker or partier, he didn’t demand attention or make himself known. But when he had something to say, it would be razor sharp, insightful, and delivered with devastating precision. My friends called him the conversational samuri. He’d been born in the days when polio routinely robbed young men and women of their prospects. So he left school with no qualifications and ended up trapped in a blue collar job, fitting hydraulic lifts on trucks for decade after decade. Some would say it was a waste of his talent. I would say it was a waste of his joy. He came alive again once he retired. And then we had nearly fifteen years of unrelenting mischief before the Alzheimer’s took hold. Building rockets and forts and fires and dolls houses and rocking horses, watching fast cars and playing pranks and hiding and seeking and laughing and teasing and I loved every single minute of it. Goodbye dad, i had so much fun with you x 💔Likes : 81435

Caption : This idea for this (admittedly quite heteronormative) study came when the scientist, James Coan, was studying brain function of those suffering from PTSD. One war veteran was really struggling with the MRI machine and asked if his wife could be present. When he started getting agitated, his wife held his hand and his brain calmed down.❤️❤️ So it’s not just women who benefit from hand holding sometimes. Even big strong men too. 💪 Here’s the original study: Lending a Hand: Social Regulation of the Neural Response to Threat. James A. Coan, Hillary S. Schaefer, and Richard J. Davidson The replication study: Relationship status and perceived support in the social regulation of neural responses to threat.

Caption : The study I’m referring to was 10 years ago now, but it confirmed an even earlier study that had the same result. Interpretation of diagnostic test results is so important, but SO easily misunderstood, even by those that rely on them most. And even small misunderstandings can have a big impact on our personal medical decisions. There is uncertainty in every aspect of medical care, we need to be comfortable with that, but the more informed we all are about what the numbers actually mean (and what they don’t), the more empowered our decisions can be.

Caption : There’s an amazing experiment where they take people into a room, sit them down and distract them by getting them to listen to some kafka. All the while, the psychologists Achim Schützwohl and Rainer Reisenzein decided to really freak people out, by quickly reconfiguring the exit into a brightly lit green room, unfurnished except for a single red chair with a stranger sitting in it,staring them down. Every single participant was surprised. Every single participant said they were surprised. But only one in five people actually pulled the classic 😱😯 face. The vast majority of people had some other expression altogether. Of course, some people smile when happy. Of course some happy people smile. But not always. And it’s dangerous to pretend that you can predict how an individual is feeling based on the movement of their facial muscles alone. There’s a brilliant book on this topic that i thoroughly recommend: How Emotions Are Made by Lisa Feldman Barrett. #algorithm #hannahfry #hitchcockLikes : 14824

Caption : Yes, okay if you really want to be a stickler about it, i’ll admit. The particle physicists probably overall had a slightly bigger impact on the outcome of ww2.. 💣 But im still taking this as a win for the mathmos. 🪖 EDIT: You’ll notice the audio is a bit off in this one – my apologies. It’s because, even though your girl can do second order partial differential equations with her eyes closed, she apparently doesn’t know the difference between stereo and mono audio channels when it comes to editing videos. It will never happen again I promise. 🙏 Read more about the German Tank Problem and its clever mathematical trick here: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00283-023-10274-6 A Bayesian Treatment of the German Tank Problem, by Cory Simon (2023) #ww2 #panzers #math #mathematician #hannahfryLikes : 8301
