Traveling Through Space

In part 1 of my conversation with Prof Debarati Chatterjee, we covered her journey to becoming an astrophysicist & working at Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA). Then we talked about key concepts needed to understand Gravitational Waves and modeling pasta-like structures within Neutron Stars. In this part we’ll start by covering the basics of Laser Interferometer Gravit...

From Galileo to Einstein, humanity’s best minds have spent a considerable amount of time trying to understand the physical laws of our Universe. Now we’re testing the limits of our understanding by studying the most unique objects that the cosmos can provide us — Neutron Stars, Black Holes and Gravitational Waves. This requires the current generation of physicists to build analytical models, colla...

The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is the space based Gravitational Wave detector being built and launched by European Space Agency(ESA), with support from NASA. In this conversation with Dr Oliver Jennrich, we cover his path to becoming LISA study scientist, the need for a space based detector and collaborations needed for this project. * [00:10 - 00:40] Introduction * [00:40 - 04:40]...

Few people can turn their hobby into a tool for public benefit. Mark has certainly done that by turning his love for Astronomy into public education events. My conversation with Mark covers how he does impactful science communication by bringing the Universe down to us in its exquisite detail. Mark’s success proves that a picture is worth a thousand words. We also talk about how anyone can ignite...

In this inaugural episode, I talk to Jatan Mehta , a popular science communicator. At the heart of this discussion is the question of how we get more people interested in space. Jatan does this by providing a comprehensive summary of humanity’s leap back to the Moon 🌕 We also talk about his writing process and then cover various re-energized public missions to the Moon – from Artemis to Chandraya...

I am excited to share that I'm starting a new podcast series, to connect directly with science communicators & experts that I have encountered in my writing journey. And my first guest will be none other than Jatan Mehta . So I hope you’ll subscribe and come along for this journey. See you soon! This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bon...
