Question to be answered by Martin. e What specifically did Epstein fund that allowed you to make an advancement in applying math to complicated systems, right? e Is there a paper you're about to publish? Something in peer review? That might come out in Nature or Science? e The area you work on seems to be an attractive area of science, is it hard to secure funding? e Who are the greatest critics of your ideas on evolution? (is it EO Wilson?) have things evolved since 2010? e What is it you think the public just does not understand about your work? e What is it that the media gets wrong about your work and science in general (i know of only one journalist with a degree in applied math, and most have never even taken calculus) ° How has funding for your field and for you changed under Trump? Question ° Would you be ok with the angle about how much scientist should care about where their funding comes from?
