• This teaching resource explains the work of Dr Christian Nansen, from the Department of Entomology and Nematology at the University of California, Davis, who developed an interactive teaching tool that uses mathematical models to predict and manage future outcomes.
• This resource also contains an interview with Christian. If you or your students have a question for him, you can submit it online – go to the article using the Futurum link below and scroll to the bottom of the page. Christian will reply!
• The activity sheet provides ‘talking points’ (based on Bloom’s Taxonomy) to prompt students to reflect on Christian’s research and tasks them to think about how you could use mathematical modelling results to influence the future.
• This resource is also available in Spanish from the link below.

This resource was first published on Futurum Careers, a free online resource and magazine aimed at encouraging 14-19-year-olds worldwide to pursue careers in science, tech, engineering, maths, medicine (STEM) and social sciences, humanities and the arts for people and the economy (SHAPE).
