Description

🧠Our Universe’s Brightest Minds🧠

Every week I provide you with long-form interviews with a brilliant thought-leader or a deep-dive into a fascinating STEM subject.

I'm the Chancellor's Distinguished Professor of Physics at UC San Diego where my team & I study the origin & evolution of space, time, & matter.

Scientists are obligated to explain their work in simple terms to non-experts. I think scientifically and I will teach you how to, too.

I wrote INTO THE IMPOSSIBLE & LOSING THE NOBEL PRIZE, which was selected as a 'Best Science Book' at Science Friday and one of the best non-fiction books of all time according to Amazon.

I'm on a mission to magnify curiosity, stoke imagination, & inspire minds of all ages.
