Today, WE ARE LIVE. Welcome to the Super Position Podcast. WE ARE just a group of curious minds with a mic and busfare, dropping nuggets of dialogue into your feed for the scientist within to thrive. THERE ARE NO PREREQUISITES. We got this, silly questions will be asked, but don’t sweat it, we’ll still give you something to chew on ;)

Over the next few days, we’ll introduce you to Super Position. Starting with this image. This was one of our first logo designs from @adrian_bunge capturing geometry and waves, order and disorder. Chaos anyone? All in good time, all in good time, for now, take your shoes off, grab a drink, let’s oscillate.

Welcome

This is our first podcast episode from Super Position straight from the SALT telescope in Sutherland. Thank you to Itumeleng Monageng, Anthony Mittas and Wade for collaborating with Super Position and being part of our journey.

Super Position @ SALT

Welcome to the Super Position Podcast episode #2.

This episode we sat down with Prof. Nox Makunga, botanist at Stellenbosch University, and Asmaa Omer, a student of applied mathematics also at Stellenbosch University, to talk science, the journey of us as women in science, and how we can bring others on the journey with us.

Thank you for tuning in. You can follow Prof. Nox on twitter: @noxthelion.

You can expect to see more of Asmaa as she joins the Super Position team. 

Big shout out to all the people who made this episode possible: Prof. Nox Makunga for joining us, Asmaa for interviewing, Jeremy for set design, Wade for our podcast and Faresa for filming.

Data Science meets Policy w/ Vukosi Marivate @ The Deep Learning Indaba

Last month, at The Deep Learning Indaba, we had the opportunity to sit down with senior data scientist at Github, Omoju Miller, and Principal Scientist at DeepMind and Professor of Computer Science at University of Oxford, Nando de Freitas. 

We got to talk ‘Turning Points of AI’: where we’ve been, where are we now and what can be envisaged for the future of computer intelligence.
