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.

165 – Biomedical Engineering with Pallavi Gunalan pt. 1

Pallavi Gunalan (@pallavigunalan) is getting her PhD in Biomedical Engineering from USC, and she’s also doing comedy in her free time. How does she find time for all of this? What is Biomedical Engineering exactly, and how does it tie into neuroscience? Join us and some Blonde Ale from St. Archer Brewing and find out. A chat with Mike Wiebe (@mikewiebe) starts things off.

163 – Brewing Beer with Kale Bittner & Josiah Blomquist pt. 1

Iron Triangle Brewery in Los Angeles makes phenomenal beer, and Josiah Blomquist and Kale Bittner are mostly responsible for that, especially Josiah, who is the brewmaster. They were nice enough to let me stop by and sample some beers and chat about what goes into running a brewery.

162 – ER Doctor with Patrick Hughes

Dr. Patrick Hughes works in the hectic world of the Emergency Room, but you’d never guess that from how mellow he is (aside from his soundboard use.) We visited Boston and chatted with Patrick during a long drive. Hear what it’s like to work in the frantic world that TV has been trying to capture for decades.
