    The Physics of Behavior with Antonio Costa

    Can we use the principles of physics, drawing from dynamical systems and statistical mechanics, to predict the behavior of worms, fish, and even humans? Join this journey with Dr. Antonio Costa of the Brain Institute in Paris to understand how he is using techniques used to study fluids to show how details of animal movements can be connected to their ecology and evolution!

    Astrophysics with Cameron Trapp

    Today, we venture into the far reaches of the cosmos with astrophysicist Cameron Trapp. Cameron’s research focuses on the intricate dance of gas and angular momentum in galaxies like the Milky Way, crucial for understanding how galaxies grow and sustain star formation. His work within the FIRE-2 cosmological simulations offers insight into how gas accretes onto galaxies and migrates inward, driven by complex gravitational and hydrodynamic forces. Beyond his contributions to galaxy evolution, Cameron also uses machine learning to analyze simulated galaxies, creating synthetic observations that deepen our understanding of the universe. We'll discuss Cameron’s work in astrophysics, what fuels the birth of stars, and how simulations can unlock the mysteries of cosmic flows.

    Ethics and Kant with Bas Tonissen

    Today we’re diving into the ethical philosophy of Immanuel Kant, one of the most influential figures in moral philosophy. Kant's ethics, centered on duty, reason, and the categorical imperative, offers a framework that challenges us to think critically about our moral obligations and how we ought to act in the world. To help us unpack Kant’s complex ideas, we’re joined by Bas Tonissen, a scholar of ethics and philosophy. Bas has spent years studying Kant’s moral philosophy and has a unique ability to bring these abstract concepts into practical focus. This episode was recorded at KSDT Radio on January 31st, 2019.
