Anouar Benali #7
My guest in episode #7 is Anouar Benali, a physicist and materials scientist at Argonne National Laboratory. We get into topics like the future of the supercomputer, what's good and bad about algorithms and the surprisingly un-objective and irrational obstacles to scientific progress. Anouar also offers up some terrific career advice and, conversely, what may be the best way to fend off recruiters.

Brian Lowit
My guest in episode #5 is Brian Lowit, founder and owner of Lovitt Records, label manager at legendary record label Dischord Records and owner of Mount Desert Island Ice Cream in Washington DC. He talks about how getting creative with his college mailroom allowed him to establish a record label out of his college dorm room and how the digital music revolution has impacted the industry. Brian shares his experience growing up in the DIY community of Washington DC, what led him to such diverse endeavors and why it makes sense that he ended up exactly where he is…even if it did take a few lucky breaks.
