You've surely seen geographic profiling in some movie or series, but perhaps you're not familiar with the actual term. A very simple and objective definition is found in Chapter 6 of the guide Mapping Crime: Principle and Practice by researcher Keith Harries, made for the US Department of Justice: "Geographic profiling is an investigative methodology that uses the location of a connected series of crimes to determine the most likely area in which an offender lives". But how is it done? What are the less obvious uses? Has it already been used in history? On to the episode!

The phrase is by the poet Ferreira Gullar, adapted from Fernando Pessoa. But what we really know is that humanity has had this feeling since... "always". We can almost certainly say that its origins go back to our origins (as primitive human beings), when, gathered together and illuminated by fire, gesticulating, we performed rituals (customary or ceremonial) linked to everyday life (birth, death, hunting...). Theater reflects the social experiences and ways of thinking of human beings over time, so we see different ways of doing theater in different historical periods and in different parts of the planet. For this cast, given the complexity and variety of theater-making around the world, we will focus on a European vision of theater.

In this SciCast, we unravel what defines piracy, go through the figures who shaped colonial trade, challenged empires and served as material for stories, myths and legends. In the Atlantic, the Golden Age of piracy, marked by names like Blackbeard and Anne Bonny, was driven by the lucrative sugar market and the slave trade. In the Indian Ocean, sea lords like Ching Shih and the Marakkars dominated trade routes with unique strategies, taking advantage of the monsoons. From the origin of the Jolly Roger to the roots of piracy in ancient thalassocracies, discover how these rebels of the seas connected continents and inspire pop culture to this day, from Jack Sparrow to One Piece.

In this partnership between SciCast and JMCast, we delve into the stories, myths, and misconceptions behind three names that everyone encountered in school: Pythagoras, Bhaskara, and Descartes. From a theorem that isn't exactly "his," to a formula that Brazil named in a unique way, to a philosopher who never drew the Cartesian plane—but changed mathematics forever—we reveal what is legend, what is history, and what really transformed science. If you've always wanted to understand what lies beyond textbooks, this episode is for you.
Recording Team: Fenando Malta, Marcelo de Matos, Roberto Spinelli, Luiza Lima, Marcelo Rainha, Marcello Amadeo.
