'Curiosity: what’s your question?' is the theme of British Science Week 2026 #BSW26. For a new series of IG and TikTok videos, we asked speakers at the last British Science Festival how curiosity has shaped their lives, and their advice for young people...

Happy New Year! Operative word being new, meaning you can do anything you want.

Do it, quit it, dump them, ask them out, fade into blissful obscurity, or something else entirely.

Say the Prime We're attempting to get a collection of humans to say every digit of the newly-discovered (and currently largest-known prime number) Mersenne prime M136279841, and hope to achieve this before another…

Bored over the festive season? We're still seeking contributions to our ridiculous saytheprime.com video project: sign up and make a 5-minute video of yourself saying a chunk of digits of the largest known prime number. Can we finish before they discover a bigger one? It's a race against maths!

This is not from the TTRPG world but I'd recommend exploring physical/true random number generators in computing (if you haven't already!)

Lava lamps, atmospheric pressure, and electrical noise are used to inject randomness from nature into all sorts of things 😊
