The Birth of a Star

Go here to read how lab experiments on Earth are providing important clues, and listen to an interview with Dr. Savin on this very program here. Enjoy!

Past Interview: Dr. Daniel Babich (Caltech)

To supplement the February 4th radio show on cosmology, here is a past interview I conducted with Dr. Dan Babich of Caltech on the Cosmic Microwave Background. Hope you enjoy and, as always, thank you for listening!

Past Interview: Dr. Kim Vy Tran

Another interview to accompany my radio show on Galaxy formation, here is Dr. Kim Vy Tran discusses her research on the evolution of galaxies from the proto-galaxies Prof. Elmegreen talked about to the ones we observe today. Hope you enjoy!

Past Interview: Prof. Debra Elmegreen (Vassar College)

As an accompaniment to my January 21st radio show on Galaxy Formation, available here is my previous interview with Prof. Elmegreen of Vassar College, where she discusses her research identifying and measuring the properties of the proto-galaxies believed to be the building blocks of the massive galaxies we observed (and reside in) today. Hope you enjoy!

Past Interview: Dr. Tod Strohmayer (NASA/GSFC)

As a compliment of the description of the December 3rd radio show on black holes, here is my interview with Dr. Tod Strohmayer of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. The original post, with links to his webpage and other resources, is located here.

Past Interview: Prof. Allyson Sheffield (Vassar College)

Already available, here is my interview with Prof. Allyson Sheffield of Vassar College on her research on determining the origin of the "thick disk" of the Milky Way. I didn't get a chance to discuss this on my January 7th radio show where I covered the Milky Way, so I thought it might be of interest. Hope you enjoy!

NASA News Feature on James Webb Space Telescope

Available here is a NASA news feature on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope (which hopefully will survive for many years to come). For more information on JWST, listen to this interview with Dr. Clampin on NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Enjoy!
