She's really nice, fun and engaging. She has a recent video about AI agents selling mugshots that's well made and clear.

I really liked her "Uncharted with Hannah Fry" podcast, sorry it ended.

interestingly you are starting to see a similar emphasis on outreach in tech these days with "forward deployed engineers" and "ai developer relations". Good to know people realize outreach is important. cheers and celebrations to professor fry!

Truly worth the prize! Sometimes I feel that she is punished by the algorithm, but great content nevertheless

I get recommended her videos all the time despite not really watching many of them. Her and Jimmy Carr in the UK.

Her tiktok channel is one of my favorites. Her ability to tell a maths story in such a clever way has always given me pause to watch. Congratulations to such a gifted communicator!

Well, I'm continually getting her videos suggested to me on YouTube. I'll just say that she has a very BBC manner to her.

It's quite an interesting line-up: https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2026/the-celebrity-traitor...

I normally can’t stand the show but the previous celebrity one was superb! This line up looks great too.

It's not my sort of show but I'd put my money on Julie Hesmondhalgh or (wildcard bet) Amol Rajan.

If Alan Carr can win the previous series then it’s safe to say anyone can.

Why not 3Blue1Brown, Numberphile or Mathologer?

They'd all be deserving, but only one person can win every 4 years. You can read about how the prize is awarded on the website: https://www.mathunion.org/imu-awards/leelavati-prize

Agree. 3Blue1Brown is a personal favorite and an astonishing teacher. May his pillow forever be fresh and cold on on both sides.
