He has also had visiting appointments at the California Institute of Technology, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Harvard University, and he has been a Science Fellow at Stanford University's Center for International Security and Cooperation. Dr. Farley is one of only four Americans to win a 2001-2002 Fulbright Distinguished Scholar Award to the United Kingdom. He is the 2004 recipient of the Harvard Foundation's Distinguished Scientist Award, given on behalf of the president of Harvard University for "outstanding achievements and contributions in the field of mathematics." Seed Magazine named him one of "15 people who have shaped the global conversation about science in 2005." Professor J. Farley also co-founded Hollywood Math and Science Film Consulting where they’ve worked on several tv shows including Elementary, Numbers and Flatland(consulted for a film with Kristen Bale and Martin sheen). Jonathan thinks very differently, in fact his thoughts are usually unconventional. My impression was to talk about math as you might’ve thought but we talked about life. Specifically about politics, dating, places among other things. Below are few points I picked up from Jon which stood out for me in our conversation: -Obama is a war criminal. He should be charged for murder. -Marriage isn't worth it for men, it’s actually a mistake. -Alimony should be eliminated. -Feminism is harming women. -The skills required to be a successful politician are not the same skills that are required to run a state successfully, that's the problem. We also did a part 2 where we talked about other subjects we didn't cover on this one like his mathematical formula to eliminate isis/terror, his childhood, academia and more.
