John Baez is Professor of Mathematics at the University of California, Riverside, known for his work on quantum gravity and higher category theory. His work in public communication of the sciences began in 1993 with his long running column “This Week’s Finds in Mathematical Physics”. In 2010, he founded the Azimuth Project, a focal point for scientists and engineers devoted to studying mathematical sciences for addressing climate change and other environmental and ecological problems. He brings this spirit to his work at Topos.
