Episode notes

Dr Meagan Carney works with chaos and extremes. As a mathematician, Meagan specialises in using machine learning to predict rare events — from hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico to temperature extremes in Germany and Texas, all the way to bacterial infections in patients with COVID-19. At the heart of Meagan’s work is using mathematics and machine learning to make informed decisions, and navigate our increasingly complex, chaotic, dynamic world.
