167 – Cold Atoms with David Aveline pt. 1

David Aveline is a physicist, and he works for CAL, the Cold Atom Laboratory. When you hear what they do, you won't believe it. It involves atoms, the International Space Station, and very cold temperatures. We share some Citrus Wheat Ale from Angel City Brewing, and he tells me how all of this fascinating science works.

152 – Prehistoric Dogs with Mairin Balisi pt. 2

Mairin Balisi is back to continue a fantastic chat about her work with fossils over more Saison Noir from Ohana Brewing. It gets a little more philosophical in this portion as we try to figure out life, the universe, and all of it.

131 – Small Mammals with Rachel Chock pt. 1

Rachel Chock (@rachelychock) is getting her PhD from UCLA, and she is focussing on small mammals. What's it like to trap pocket mice at night in the middle of the desert? How much can we learn about such such creatures, and how can we protect them? Rachel and Dave share some Mojave Red from Indian Wells and discuss all of this.
