It involves not just fire behaviour but also animal ecology, human ethics, social science, engineering, politics, environmental law, health science and mathematics.” The team also spends a lot of time writing up research papers, communicating with industry partners and carrying out statistical modelling.

When I was younger, I always loved math and science. One of the things I love most about science, and GIS and ecology in particular, is that it’s a creative process. It requires the ability to ask questions and determine how to answer them, or how to depict or communicate them.

Pappas (2016) reported that people were less apt to hire a woman for a (fictitious) job solving math problems the stronger their beliefs were that males are better than females in mathematics.

As a high school student, Winnie had a passion for both math and the social sciences. Her teachers pushed her into the “easier” path of social sciences rather than encourage her interest in STEM subjects. And throughout my sort of high school experience, I’d been, you know, passionate about social sciences.

I could write down equations and do math. So for me it was obvious: if I couldn’t figure out things myself with math, I should use a computer. It wasn’t something one could readily see with math. But it really wasn’t physics, or computer science, or math, or biology, or economics, or any known field.

And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. Later he describes what he calls the “Principle of the Communication of Heat”. There was also a sense that regardless of its foundations, the Second Law was successfully used in practice.

In 2015 Ed told me a nice story about his time at Caltech: In 1952–53, I was a student in Linus Pauling’s class where he lectured Freshman Chemistry at Caltech. He was convinced you could not do [math] by typing it. After class, one day, I asked Pauling “What is a superconductor at the highest known temperature?”
