We’re ending the quarter with a book about probability—ironically, no one saw it coming. In Everything is Predictable, Tom Chivers explains Bayes’ Theorem: a deceptively simple math idea that helps us detect spam, win bets, diagnose illnesses… and maybe even survive grad school. It’s a probability-powered guide to the universe—minus the pop quizzes and plus a few laughs. Join us to talk math, uncertainty, and why your gut feelings are statistically sketchy. We will read a chapter together during the session and discuss it as a group—no homework, just good conversation. Gut feelings are not required.
