Interview with Dr. Neil Gehrels online

The interview with Dr. Neil Gehrels of Goddard Space Flight Center is now available for your listening pleasure. In this interview, Dr. Gehrels talks about Swift, an extremely successful satellite which was designed to study the gamma-ray, x-ray, and ultraviolet/optical emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and has been instrumental in furthering our understanding of what these mysterious explosions are. For more information on his research, Swift, and GRBs, check out:
