I'm really hooked on Eugenia these days! I love how she explains math and enlightens us of its beauty and utility. I particularly like how she says at the end of her talk that the world of math is a dream world and that ideas begin with dreams.

I really like the way she speaks so concisely with no brainfarts or ehmm etc. To the point with maximum injected enthusiasm very impressive.

[@JackMeoff46]

I wish I had her as my math teacher.

Eugenia proves that you can be brilliant and funny and insightful and inventive all in one woman running around a Moebius strip. Hurrah!

Their will come a time in our near future where a leading AI reaches the age of a two year old and keeps asking why, why, why and that is going to get REALLY annoying!

I'm surprised that no-one has objected to the used of 'intellectually flabby' - surely that's brain shaming nowadays?
