Scientists don't often step outside their field in order to engage in dialogues that are of the essence, evermore so during times of worrisome turbulence. Dr. Sean Carroll does not only step outside his field, but is acutely cognizant when doing so. His conversations are similar to the conversations from "Dialogues concerning two sciences, between Sagredo, Simplicio, and Salviati". In other words he is not shy for when he lacks knowledge on certain subjects and is courteous when correcting others. He has calculative approaches towards crucial conversations. Scientists, I hope are paying attention to the importance of having conversations among different sciences and opening the doors to other fields, specially to the ones that aren't related to their science.
Strominger is one of the best episodes!
Thank you!
To learn from smart people, tune in.
I’m always surprised at how much I learn. I’m naturally over confident I guess.
