For leading climate scientist Dr Tamsin Edwards, probabilities and possible futures are part of her everyday work. She joins David to explore uncertainty in different aspects of her life: as a statistician and mathematical modeller, as a communicator about possible climate futures, but also as a cancer patient faced with a life-changing decision.

Tamsin and David explore

• Why 'all models are wrong but some are useful'
• How Tamsin engages with climate change skeptics and Extinction Rebellion campaigners
• Communicating projections for different scenarios - with climate change and Covid-19.
• What she learnt as a cancer patient 'at the pointy end of probability'
