In conversation with June Huh
Ғылым және технология
Two PhD students, Laura Casabella (MPI MiS) and Dante Luber (TU Berlin), ask June Huh (Princeton University) questions about his work, winning the Fields medal and mathematics in general.
Unfortunately we had an audio equipment failure, please enable subtitles.

It's a shame that the audio quality is so bad

Unfortunately we had an equipment failure and had to fall back to in-built mics and sound reconstruction to even be able to get this out of it. Sorry about that. We've added subtitles though.

@@mpiMathSci I recommend reproducing the audio quality by a profesional and upload it again, cause It's a real problem
Mr. Huh, Poet turned Mathematician is one of my inspirations in today’s world!

Rather now he’s both poet and mathematician 😊
This was really motivational and helpful. Thanks for delivering this interview and thanks to June Huh.
love it. im not a mathematician or anywhere in academia, a film student actually, and i love there's this poetic-ness in the way june speaks.
Not sure why I clicked on this, but I am so glad that I did. What an inspiration he is. The best part? I suspect he would not think of himself in that way. And to attribute a lot, even most, of his success to luck, very humble. Boy did I need to hear this as I am feeling stuck in the journey I am on (related to mathematics). I am renewed!
Excellent. Thank you. **For anyone concerned about the audio quality, I have found that turning on the closed captions works quite well.
The audio quality is painfully bad.
When I'm met with a math problem that I don't know how to solve, I just go "Huh?"
Thanks.

It seems like everyone is wearing mics. Did the mics fail, or is using the room sound an error on the video production side? Edit: I'm about halfway in, and even at maximum volume on my laptop it's difficult to make out some of what is being said. If there is any way the audio can be fixed (or even improved) and the video re-uploaded, we would all be greatly appreciative!

Is it the month of May? June. Huh?
such uninspiring questions... and yet he still managed to give interesting answers to many of them
This guy's need desperately a couple of good mics!
Wow the sound is awful!
Bad audio quality
