It’s Wednesday, which means Postcall is dancing into your day like Jeff Goldblum at Mardi Gras! 🕺🏻💃🏾
It happens to be Mr. Goldblum’s birthday week, so we’re taking a moment to honour everyone’s favourite fictional mathematician, Dr. Ian Malcolm! 🦕
Jeff Goldblum’s character in Jurassic Park was an expert in Chaos Theory, the branch of math that examines how small changes can lead to very different, unpredictable outcomes in complex systems. Like the weather! Or genetically engineered dinosaurs that spontaneously start to breed! 🦖 (Spoiler alert for a 30-year-old movie 😬) What we’re saying is… life, uh… finds a way. 🤷♀️
