  • Mathematician (and comedian!!!) Sridhar Ramesh joins us to share the downsides of growing up in New Jersey (and why people should stop asking where in Jersey), fulfilling his reputation as the class genius, and the heckler that almost ruined his thesis defense. 

    Gianmarco and Russell also discuss why the hell Deborah Messing is following the podcast’s Instagram account and they make Sridhar do some math on the fly.
