Euromaths: James Maynard

We're very excited to be going to this year's European Congress of Mathematics (ECM), which will take place in Seville, Spain, in July! And we noticed that mathematicians who win one the prizes awarded at the ECM by the European Mathematical Society quite often go on to win a Fields Medal, one of the highest honours in mathematics.

So to celebrate the run-up to the ECM we've launched Euromaths, a miniseries of podcasts revisiting interviews with Fields Medallists who previously won an EMS prize. This week we hear from James Maynard who won a Fields Medal in 2022 and an EMS prize in 2016, talking about is work on the fabled twin prime conjecture.

You can read about James's work in this short introduction and this in-depth article.
