This week I have a long interview I did a few weeks ago John Donovan. John is the Director of the MicroAnalytical Facility and the University of Oregon's CAMCOR, Center for Advanced Materials Characterization. I got a tour of the whole facility and we talked about all the different kinds of nanotechnology scanning and imaging done at the facility.
Catching up on the latest and greatest including growing rice in saltwater, algorithms for acoustics, earthquakes, and the NASA twin study.
This week I have a great chat with Abigail Harrison, aka Astronaut Abby. We talk bout her ambitions for Mars, getting people excited about space, STEM, and the arts, and whether there will be cats on Mars.
This week we catch up on the news. Mars, self-driving cars, trains and tractors, new telescopes, medical imaging, shills, dolphin culture.
This week features an interview with Aerospace Engineer Mike Paul Hughes. We chat about upcoming missions, speculate on life, and Mike reminds us why it's important to study history. Also, a bad case of bad science headlines.
On this weeks news show: CRISPR for Glaucoma, Nobel Prizes, moon, Mars, and some thoughts on guns and con man Alex Jones.
This week I have an interview with astrophysicist Steve Kilston of Interstellar Consultants. One of Steve's projects is a practical and well thought out 500 year plan for building a ship that could take us to another star system. This is not pie-in-the-sky stuff, this is grounded in practical knowledge. Also, Australia gets it's own space agency.
