Dr Sophie Calabretto & The Midwich Cuckoos: fluid mechanics, repetitive politeness, and is it math or maths?

Update: 2022-10-04

Description

On this weeks Book(ish) I sit down with fluid mechanist Dr Sophie Calabretto to discuss The Midwich Cuckoos by John Wyndham. Our conversation includes why fluid does what it does, the final judgement on whether it's pronounced math or maths, and how many ways you can say you're not interested. Enjoy!
