Show notes

What is Life: In Search of a Unified Theory of Everything

Prof. Paul Davies is a Professor of Physics and Cosmology at the Arizona State University. His research interests have focused mainly on quantum gravity, early universe cosmology, the theory of quantum black holes and the nature of time. He has also made important contributions to the field of astrobiology, and was an early advocate of the theory that life on Earth may have originated on Mars.

Prof. Arik Levinson, Professor of Economics at Georgetown University. May 17, 2021

Show notes

The simple analytics of the environmental Kuznets curve, Energy Efficiency Standards Are More Regressive Than Energy Taxes: Theory and Evidence, and Who Values Future Energy Savings? Evidence from American Drivers

Prof. Arik Levinson is a Professor of Economics at Georgetown University. He is known for his research in the fields of energy economics and environmental economics.

Prof. Kimberly Gray, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Northwestern University May 15, 2021

Show notes

Climate Action: The Feasibility of Climate Intervention on a Global Scale

Prof. Kimberly Gray is Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Northwestern University. One of her research areas is physicochemical processes in natural and engineered environmental systems with a particular focus on energy and urban sustainability applications.

Prof. William Fuchs, Professor of Finance at the University of Texas. May 13, 2021

Show notes

Optimal Arrangements for Distribution in Developing Markets: Theory and Evidence

Prof. William Fuchs is Professor of Finance at the University of Texas. His research focuses on situations with a poor contractual environment due to asymmetric information or lack of formal enforcement. He studies how repeated interactions or policies can be used to partially overcome the underlying frictions.

Prof. Steve Cundiff, Professor of Physics at the University of Michigan May 11, 2021

Show notes

Multidimensional Coherent Spectroscopy of Semiconductors, Tri-comb spectroscopy, and Simple single-section diode frequency combs

Prof. Steve Cundiff is Professor of Physics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan. His research areas include the use of ultrafast pulses to study light-matter interactions, as well as their production and manipulation.

Prof. Woodward Fischer, Professor of Geobiology at the California Institute of Technology. May 09, 2021

Show notes

How did life come to tolerate and thrive in an oxygenated world?, Evolution of Oxygenic Photosynthesis, and Early plant organics increased global terrestrial mud deposition through enhanced flocculation.

Prof. Woodward Fischer is Professor of Geobiology and associate director, center for autonomous systems and technologies at the California Institute of Technology. His research focus areas include historical Geobiology; evolution of the oxygenic photosynthesis and rise of atmospheric oxygen.

Prof. Kiyoshi Masui, Assistant professor of Physics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology May 07, 2021

Show notes

Observations of fast radio bursts at frequencies down to 400 megahertz, A second source of repeating fast radio bursts, and A bright millisecond-duration radio burst from a Galactic magnetar in the Milky Way.

Prof. Kiyoshi Masui is assistant professor of Physics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He works to understand fundamental physics and the evolution of the Universe through observations of the large-scale structure - the distribution of matter on scales much larger than galaxies.

Prof. Omar Ahmed, Assistant Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Michigan May 05, 2021

Show notes

The neural circuitry supporting successful spatial navigation despite variable movement speeds, how the retrosplenial cortex helps us navigate and how it is altered in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, and Running speed alters the frequency of hippocampal gamma oscillations.

Prof. Omar Ahmed is an Assistant Professor of Psychology, Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan. His lab studies the neuroscience of spatial navigation and memory, and how these neural systems are altered in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and epilepsy.

Prof. William Renthal, Director of Research at the John Graham Headache Center at Brigham and Women’s Hospital of Harvard May 03, 2021

Show notes
