Not sure what to do with all the COVID-conspiracy theories flying around? Finding yourself arguing on social media while your blood pressure rises and your friend/follower count drops?!?!  Um, I FEEL YA.  So I called up my dear friend and legit science super-star, Dr. Samantha Yammine (aka Science Sam), to break down exactly why #fakenews spreads so easily and what we can do to constructively and compassionately champion facts based in real math and science - something we have the power and responsibility to fight for.Follow Science Sam on <a href='https://www.instagram.com/science.sam/'>Instagram</a> and <a href='https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCd53z3Lp5Wh-335pOMDxO0g'>YouTube</a>Today’s show notes &amp; links: <a href='themathguru.ca/maththerapy/samanthayammine'>themathguru.ca/maththerapy/samanthayammine</a>Reach Vanessa on all socials: @themathguru

Mailbag #1: Your stories!

Math Therapy explores the root causes of math trauma, and the empowering ways we can heal from it.&nbsp; Each week host Vanessa Vakharia, aka The Math Guru, dives into what we get right and wrong about math education, and chats with some of today’s most inspiring and visionary minds working to make math more accessible, diverse, and fun for students of all ages. Whether you think you’re a "math person" or not, you’re about to find out that math people don’t actually exist – but the scars that math class left on many of us, definitely do. And don’t worry, no calculators or actual math were involved in the making of this podcast ;)
