I am a co-founder – together with the writer Apostolos Doxiadis and the school teacher and writer Tefcros Michaelides of the not-for-profit organisation Thales and Friends. For the very active Greek site see the Greek language version. Thales + Friends works to bridge the chasm between mathematics and other forms of cultural activity. To achieve its aims, Thales + Friends works to create opportunities for interdisciplinary research and communication, through lectures, discussions, publications, and reading groups. Some international activities include:

• Mykonos conference: Mathematics and narrative. See the related article in Nature

• Delphi Conference: Circles Disturbed. See the proceedings of the conference in this book edited by Apostolos Doxiadis and Barry Mazur.

Some of my public lectures about probability and statistics (in Greek) are here:

• youtube channel

• Bodossaki lectures on demand
