    S1Ep19 Interview with Frank Turecek about breaking apart chemicals with light

    In this episode I discuss photodissociation (splitting with light) of chemicals and their transients with Frank Turecek. Listen as we dive into what photodissociation is, what it can tell us, and also Frank's very interesting and compelling story of how he got here.

    S1Ep18 Interview with Daniel Conway about the importance of epithelial cells

    In this epsisode, I discuss epithelial cells with Daniel Conway. Daniel discusses the importance of forces on epithelial cells, how too much force can create cellular problems (think about allowing things in that should be, or not allowing things in that should be coming in) and much more!

    S1Ep16 Interview with Lis Gallant about volcanic flows

    In this episode I discuss lava flows, the data collection, the impact of NSF grant funding and much more with Lis Gallant. Lis lives and works near an active volcano, which allows her and her group to respond rapidly to eruption events.

    In this episode I interview Charli Sakari. We discuss the importance and meaning of metal-poor stars, how we know they are "old", what they can tell us about the history of the milky way, and much more! Charli has also worked with others to help produce a set of useful and short videos related to how stars produce the elements we see around us, which can be found here: https://vimeo.com/947533576 If you enjoy the content I would appreciate any support you can give at:⁠https://ko-fi.com/profilesafr
