“People may be interested to learn a bit about Richard Elwes. He seems to be pretty serious about explaining math to a broad audience… but he seems to have a sense of humor, too” - John Baez
“I was delighted by the Knot Theory/Category Theory article. It is a gem” - Jonathan Vos Post, in the comments at the The n-Category Café
Talking Maths on The Tube
