Podcasts about California Science Center

Science can feel isolating when you don't see yourself reflected around you. This episode brings together two stories about the search for representation, connection, and belonging in STEM.Part 1: Graduate student Angelique Allen doesn't fully understand the strong connection she feels to the 2015 animated film Home. Part 2: Growing up in segregated 1950s Baltimore, Ken Phillips learns early who society says he can't be. Angelique Allen is a graduate student at the University of Oregon, the founder of Dreams of a Scientist, and an aspiring dirtbag. She spends most of her time thinking about science, with a focus on researching octopus brains and creating art that helps integrate science into society. She spends the rest of her time sleeping in the back of her car, climbing rocks, and doing anything she possibly can to see a sea slug (including but not limited to SCUBA diving, snorkeling, and tidepooling). To follow along her scientific journey (and see what her elderly cat is up to) check her out on instagram @angeliques.outthere. Ken Phillips has served as Curator of Aerospace Science at the California Science Center in Los Angeles since 1990 and is responsible for shaping its exhibits and programs in aeronautics and space exploration. In 1991, he began planning a display of a flown space shuttle orbiter that culminated in NASA awarding the Space Shuttle Endeavour to the California Science Center two decades later. He is now working toward the opening of the 200,000 square-foot Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center for which groundbreaking occurred in June 2022. Ken has taught numerous courses in astrophysics, planetary geology, and space exploration to primary and secondary school students, and is an adjunct professor of the practice of physics and astronomy at the University of Southern California (USC) where he teaches the freshman seminar entitled “The Space Shuttle and our Place in the Universe.” Through the USC Prison Education Program, he also teaches introductory astronomy to students in correctional facilities. He received his bachelor's in physics from North Carolina A&T State University, a master's in general engineering from the University of Wisconsin, and a doctorate in environmental engineering from The Johns Hopkins University. Ken loves model trains, swimming, and bull dogs!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Guests: Kevin Carter, Executive Director of Teatown & Tom Harris, President of Times Square Alliance In this episode of Radio Night Live, Kevin McCullough and Cristyne Nicholas chat with Tom Harris from the Times Square Alliance about the iconic destination's enduring appeal.  They discuss how Times Square has become a place where people come to see and be seen, and how it's a reflection of the city's connection to the world. The conversation also touches on the importance of community and shared experiences, like the annual vow renewal ceremony in Times Square. Kevin and Cristyne also share their own personal stories about Times Square & experiencing the city's unique energy. Kevin Carter brings a broad range of experience, based on a sixteen-year career in leading science and children's museums. These have included the California Science Center, the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, and, most recently, Stepping Stones Museum for Children in Norwalk, CT, where he served as Chief Operating Officer. In each, Kevin developed innovative ways to deliver complex technical subjects in engaging ways, delighting visitors and taking the discovery experience beyond the walls of the museum. Kevin's initial entry to the museum world came from his work in IMAX film production and exhibition. He is a graduate of the University of Southern California's School of Cinema/Television and is keenly aware of the importance of technology and collaborative efforts in making the Teatown experience among the very best. ABOUT TEATOWN:  Originally founded in 1963 and previously funded by the Brooklyn Botanic Garden as an outreach station in Ossining, New York, Teatown Lake Reservation is a nonprofit nature preserve, and environmental education center located in the Lower Hudson Valley. Today, with 15 miles of hiking trails and more than 1,000 acres of protected land, a two-acre island refuge for more than 230 species of native wildflowers, wildlife exhibits, science and stewardship projects, nature classes and camps, and more, Teatown is the largest nonprofit community-supported nature preserve in Westchester County, with a mission to inspire the community to lifelong environmental stewardship. Teatown's name originally dates back to 1776, when tea was scarce due to British taxation and a group of women named Daughters of Eve demanded that a local merchant John Arthur sell tea at a fair price. Hence, the area became known as “Teatown.”

Many of us have visited the various displays of space shuttles around the US, and it's always a spectacular sight. The shuttle orbiter was huge, and seeing in any configuration is inspirational. Notably, the California Science Center is completing a display of the Endeavor in a launch configuration, which is unique among shuttle installations. But the very first shuttle mockup ever constructed will soon go on public display in its birthplace in Southern California, the city of Downey. This is where North American Rockwell, the builder of all the shuttles, was located until they were absorbed by Boeing decades ago. It was in the Rockwell facility that the first wood-and-aluminum mockup of the shuttle was built, and it's been stored until this day under the control of the Columbia Memorial Space Center. Of special interest: besides its uses as a technical simulator, this mockup was what closed the deal between NASA and Rockwell to build the shuttles and inspired many in Congress to support the program. The museum's Executive Director and President, Ben Dickow, joins us to talk about this magnificent, full-sized shuttle mockup, its history, and future plans. Headlines: • SpaceX's Crew-8 mission returned to Earth after a record-breaking 235 days in space, but one crew member remains in the hospital for additional medical checks • Boeing's Intelsat satellite broke up in geosynchronous orbit, creating around 5,000 pieces of space debris, posing potential long-term threats to other satellites • India announced plans for Chandrayaan-4, a joint lunar sample return mission with Japan, targeting the Moon's south pole in 2027-2028 • Chinese company Deep Blue Aerospace aims to start offering space tourist flights by 2027 on a suborbital rocket and capsule that resembles a hybrid of SpaceX's Dragon and Blue Origin's New Shepard Main Topic - Interview with Ben Dickow: • The Columbia Memorial Space Center houses Inspiration, a full-scale wooden mock-up of the space shuttle built by Rockwell in 1972 • Inspiration was used as an engineering tool and to help secure the shuttle contract for Rockwell • The mock-up features highly detailed interiors, including a crew cabin, flight deck, and cargo bay • After being mothballed for years, Inspiration was recently moved to the Columbia Memorial Space Center for display in a new building • Southern California will soon have the first and last space shuttles on display, with Inspiration in Downey and Endeavour in Los Angeles • Ben emphasizes the importance of preserving the shuttle's history and using it as an educational tool to inspire future generations of engineers and scientists • The emotional power of seeing a space shuttle up close and the human stories behind its creation are key to the exhibit's impact Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik Guest: Ben Dickow Download or subscribe to this show at https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space.

On episode 81, Micah and I have the privilege of interviewing the Flight Team interns from the California Science Center. But first, Listener Paul writes in to let us know he wasn't happy with our production quality / sound levels. Through a bunch of emails, thinks get pretty hysterical. Then I talk with Micah about not having any regrets... but he still won't upgrade his ancient PC to a Mac... at least not until Microsoft stops support for Windows 10. Listener Lu wants to know if we have ever witnessed any physical violence on a airplane. This question stems from the incident where a United Airlines flight attendant has part of his shirt bitten off by a human passenger. We then play the recorded interviews we conducted with the Summer Flight Team Interns from the California Science Center. And I can not stress enough how great these kids are and how lucky we were to be able to interview them. They are very special people and it was great to be able to help inspire them during the 8 week program. We hope you enjoy the interviews! The opening and closing music is provided by the Madalitso Youth Choir as they sing their Welcome Song and their Good By song, recorded at the lobby of The Royal Livingston Hotel in Zambia. We hope you enjoy the show!

The deep sea is a mysterious place full of many different life forms! Some that may seem strange yet incredibly amazing to us. But how can we learn more about these creatures if the deep sea can be so hard to explore!?   Do you ever wonder what creatures live in the deep sea?   In today's episode the Science Center interns; Nathan Arriaza, Gerardo Martinez, Jose Cornejo, and Jason Mejia have a conversation with Senior Educator here at the California Science Center, Brittany Munson. She tells us all about her month-long deep-sea exploration on the ship Nautilus, studying deep sea ecosystems and some of the cool living things she encountered!   Have a question you've been wondering about?

In this follow up Convo of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Steve Lewis, Urban Design Principal with the Portland-based firm, ZGF Architects. Steve was also a candidate for the 2026 President at the American Institute of Architects (AIA). He is a facilitator of partnerships and alliances between groups and individuals who seek to use architecture and design to effect positive change to our world.Steve brings to ZGF a wealth of experience across urban planning and design, most notably holding a post with the City of Detroit where he served as the Design Director for the Central Region of Detroit's Department of Planning and Development as well as holding a Professorship in Practice, leading design studios focusing on community issues and urban planning at the University of Michigan. He was a founding partner of the firm RAW International in Los Angeles where he helped build a successful design practice over a 20-year period and collaborated with ZGF on memorable projects including the Exposition Park Master Plan and the California Science Center that made a real difference in the fabric of their communities.From Southern California to Detroit and back, Steve's ethics-driven urban planning and design has made the cities he's worked in not only more aesthetically beautiful, but also more equitable and representative of the surrounding communities. Following in the footsteps of his father, an architect with a drive for justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion, Steve designs, speaks, mentors, and volunteers tirelessly to advocate for what he believes in and to see those values embodied in the built environment. He and Ted discuss his AIA Presidential candidacy and campaign experience, the elements of sustainable design, digging into embedded materials, energy use, building decarbonization, and electrification. Steve concludes that he is dedicated to equity in design to affect positive change for the future of architecture. 

For the first few episodes of this podcast, we'll take you behind the scenes of the California Science Center to meet some of the people who design and develop exhibits.Imagine for a minute that you're visiting a science center or a museum. You're looking at an exhibit and… you probably have questions. Good thing there's some text posted nearby to help explain what's going on.These bits of interpretive text are called exhibit labels, and you can find them all over museums. If you've been to a museum, you've read a label. Do you ever wonder who writes them?In this episode, we talk to Jennifer Lawrence, the senior exhibit developer at the California Science Center whose job it is to write pretty much everything you read while looking at and playing with our exhibits.Have a question you've been wondering about?

Giant sea bass. Desert tortoise. Leopard shark. These are all examples of creatures you can see on display when you visit the California Science Center. And just like you or me or any of the pets you might have at home, these critters can get sick.Do you ever wonder who takes care of all these different animals when they need to go to the doctor?In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Brittany Stevens, a veterinarian here at the Science Center. She'll tell us all about her vet exam room, how she cares for so many different kinds of animals, and even what it's like to do surgery on fish.Have a question you've been wondering about?

On episode 72, Micah and I talk about my trip to Singapore with my neighbor Shelley.   Listener Claire writes in and tells us how she can relate to Matt Smiths fear of flying as she talks about her experience with a Go Around in Denver. And sadly, there isn't a question this week from Listener Lu. Hey Listener Lu, we want to know where you are??? :-) In Additions, Corrections and Shoutouts, Listener Hendric updates us on European Compensation, EU261. I ask for help with the project I'm working on at the California Science Center. We are looking for anyone with experience in the field of aviation to make a donation of time, talent or funds to support a program for disadvantaged students. Micah and I then talk about my trip with neighbor Shelley to Singapore. She was surprised to learn we got upgraded to Polaris... which was very nice. The opening and closing music is provided by the Madalitso Youth Choir as they sing their Welcome Song and their Good By song, recorded at the lobby of The Royal Livingston Hotel in Zambia. We hope you enjoy the show!

On episode 71, Micah and I talk about my trip to Medford Oregon with my neighbors to drink wine.   But first, we have some Listener Mail from Listener Todd. Todd reminisces about his time in Lodi, CA and not his son is working in the wine industry there. Then we answer a question from Listener Leslie. She wants to know about our oldest airplane we have flown on. And as usual, it's a difficult question to answer. Listener Lu wants to know if we see anything wrong with the new American Airlines pilots' contracts? In Additions, Corrections and Shoutouts, I ask for help with the project I'm working on at the California Science Center. We are looking for anyone with experience in the field of aviation to make a donation of time, talent or funds to support a program for disadvantaged students. Micah and I also share our heartfelt condolences to Listener Matt and his family. Matt lost his mom who was 96 years young and just an incredible woman who I had the pleasure of meeting. Micah and I lighten up the conversation and talk about my experiences on Avelo. Sadly, they are no longer the airline I want to love. Then we conclude the show with a mention of the Singapore meetup at LeVeL33 on Friday April 19 at 7:00PM. LeVeL33 is located at the Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 1 on the 33rd floor. I hope to meet you there! The opening and closing music is provided by the Madalitso Youth Choir as they sing their Welcome Song and their Good By song, recorded at the lobby of The Royal Livingston Hotel in Zambia. We hope you enjoy the show!

For the last three episodes of this podcast, we've been taking you behind-the-scenes of the California Science Center to meet some of the people who design and develop exhibits. Many of you probably already love visiting science centers and museums. Odds are you have a favorite exhibit--something especially awe-inspiring or fun. Do you ever wonder how your favorite exhibit got made? In this episode, we talk to Kathy Marsailes, the senior exhibit designer at the California Science Center. She helps design and build all of the three-dimensional things--the exhibits themselves--that you actually touch or play with when you're visiting one of our galleries.Have a question you've been wondering about?

From the Kennedy Space Center to Apollo Mission Control to SpaceX's Starbase, Rod and Tariq discuss the coolest space places on Earth for you to visit. Some are grand, a few are funky, but they are all great places to enjoy the finest moments in space exploration... and there are some hidden gems you shouldn't miss! Join us for this first installment of the Greatest Space Places, Phase One: USA! Headlines: Virgin Galactic's fourth commercial spaceflight launches first Pakistani woman astronaut Namira Salim. Salim flew with two other passengers on the successful suborbital flight. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk speaks at the International Astronautical Congress, gives an update on Starship development. Musk says there is a "decent chance" Starship could reach orbit this year if engines fire properly. Also discussed upgrades to increase lift capacity. Fashion brand Prada partners with spacesuit maker Axiom Space to design stylish spacesuits for NASA's Artemis moon missions. Prada will apply expertise in materials science and textiles. Strange press release claims discovery of alien life, but only offers blurry photo of a dog staring at a wall as proof. Self-published book also promoted. Main Topic: Favorite Space Places Kennedy Space Center in Florida has both a visitor complex and active facilities. Highlights include the Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit, Saturn V Center, Apollo-era launch pads, and bus tours to see current operations. Johnson Space Center in Houston is home to historic Mission Control and astronaut training facilities. Nearby Space Center Houston houses space artifacts like the Saturn V rocket. The National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC contains extensive aviation and space history exhibits, including the original Wright Flyer, Mercury and Gemini capsules, and a Skylab module you can enter. SpaceX's Starbase test facility in South Texas allows the public to view Starship development up close from nearby roads. Launch attempts draw big crowds for a party-like atmosphere. Other favorites highlighted: the Udvar-Hazy Center near Washington Dulles Airport, California Science Center, Wallops Flight Facility, Kansas Cosmosphere, and more. There are many unique sites around the country for space fans to explore.

Tú decides el final de este maravilloso viaje en busca de agujeros negros. 🚀👨‍🚀 🌟 En este audio, tienes la increíble oportunidad de influir en la dirección de la historia. Eres el protagonista y tus decisiones marcarán el rumbo que tomarás. Escucha hasta el final para tomar una decisión. Aurora te da dos opciones: ¿Verde o rojo?, ¡SUERTE! 🚀 Este audio ha sido grabado con un Micrófono D1010 Memphis Professional Cardioid Dinamic. 🎙 - Interfaz: Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen - Estudio propio - Plugins: Universal Audio, Waves, Focusrite - Audacity, Reaper - Música y efectos: Epidemic Sound, con licencia premium autorizada Producción Olga Paraíso Historias para ser Leídas 🚀 Te recomiendo escuchar los tres episodios completos de esta serie para seguir este emocionante viaje en busca de agujeros negros. 🚀👨‍🚀 Imagina que tú eres el propietario y capitán de una gran nave espacial. AGUJEROS NEGROS 1: https://go.ivoox.com/rf/112020378 🚀 AGUJEROS NEGROS 2: https://go.ivoox.com/rf/113238285 🚀 🚀👨‍🚀 Imagina que tú eres el propietario y capitán de una gran nave espacial, con ordenadores, robots y una tripulación de cientos de personas a tus órdenes. La Sociedad Geográfica Mundial te ha asignado la misión de explorar los agujeros negros en regiones lejanas del espacio interestelar y transmitir por radio a la Tierra una descripción de sus experiencias. Tras seis años de viaje, tu nave está decelerando en la vecindad del agujero negro más próximo a la Tierra: un agujero llamado «Hades» cercano a la estrella Vega. En la video pantalla de tu nave, tú y la tripulación observáis manifestaciones de la presencia del agujero: los escasísimos átomos de gas en el espacio interestelar, aproximadamente uno por centímetro cúbico, son atraídos por la gravedad del agujero negro. Las únicas singularidades representadas en las cartas de viaje de su nave son las que están dentro de los agujeros negros, y usted se niega a pagar el precio de la muerte para explorarlas. Thorne comienza llevándonos a un viaje por los agujeros negros y, desde allí, nos hace seguir el descubrimiento de las nuevas concepciones, desde Einstein hasta nuestros días, en una especie de relato histórico sazonado de anécdotas vividas, a lo largo del cual vamos aprendiendo los conceptos básicos, hasta llegar al punto en que agujeros de gusano y máquinas del tiempo nos parecen posibilidades lógicas y comprensibles. Stephen Hawking calificó esta historia como «un relato fascinante», y dijo: todos cuantos aman los misterios científicos disfrutarán con él. Comenzamos el viaje....! Este relato ha sido escrito por Kip Stephen Thorne (Logan, Utah, 1940), físico teórico estadounidense, conocido por sus contribuciones prolíficas en física, astrofísica y gravitación. Gran amigo y colega de Stephen Hawking y Carl Sagan, ocupó la cátedra «Profesor Feynman» de Física Teórica en el Instituto de Tecnología de California hasta el año 2009, y es uno de los mayores expertos sobre las implicaciones astrofísicas de la teoría general de la relatividad de Einstein. Ha escrito y editado libros sobre temas de teoría de la gravedad y astrofísica de alta energía. En 1973, fue coautor del libro de texto clásico Gravitation , con Charles Misner y John Wheeler, del que la mayor parte de la actual generación de científicos han aprendido la teoría de la relatividad general. En 1994, publicó Agujeros negros y tiempo curvo: el escandaloso legado de Einstein , un libro de referencia para los no científicos por el que recibió numerosos premios y que ha sido publicado en seis idiomas. Su trabajo ha aparecido en revistas y enciclopedias, tales como Scientific American , McGraw-Hill Yearbook of Science and Technology y la Collier's Encyclopedia , entre muchos otros, y ha publicado más de 150 artículos en revistas especializadas. Ha presentado diversos programas de la PBS estadounidense (televisión pública) y la BBC inglesa sobre temas como los agujeros negros, las ondas gravitatorias, la relatividad, el viaje en el tiempo y los agujeros de gusano. La lista de premios, reconocimientos y honores recibidos es larga y variada: Science Writing Award in Physics and Astronomy del American Institute of Physics; Science Writing Award de la Phi Beta Kappa Society; Karl Schwarzschild Medal por la German Astronomical Society ; Robinson Prize in Cosmology por la Universidad de Newcastle; California Scientist of the Year Award por el California Science Center; Medalla Albert Einstein (2009) por la Sociedad de Albert Einstein (Berna, Suiza), etc. 📌Síguenos en nuestro canal informativo de Telegram: https://t.me/historiasparaserleidas Muchísimas gracias a los taberneros galácticos que apoyan este podcast, vamos rumbo a las estrellas,🌌🚀 ¿nos acompañas?

Welcome to Astronomy Daily! In today's episode, we discuss the importance of planetary protection policies and the role of the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) in formulating and updating them. These policies aim to prevent the harmful introduction of biological and organic contamination during space missions and ensure that scientific exploration does not adversely impact the new worlds we visit. We also highlight the complex process of displaying the space shuttle Endeavour vertically at the California Science Center. This six-month project involves stacking the shuttle's components, replicating its appearance on a launch pad. Endeavour, which flew 25 missions between 1992 and 2011, will be displayed in its vertical launch position at the Samuel Oscar Nair and Space Center. In another story, astronomers observe a surprising event involving a supermassive black hole named J2-219-51. This black hole's feeding frenzy on surrounding matter generates one of the brightest transient events ever recorded. While scientists are uncertain about the exact cause of this phenomenon, it could be the result of a star venturing too close to the black hole and being torn apart—a process known as spaghettification. Next, we bid farewell to Europe's Ariane 5 rocket, which has officially retired after a successful final launch. The Ariane 5 has served as the European Space Agency's workhorse launch vehicle since 1996, and its last mission deployed telecommunication satellites for the German and Italian governments. However, with the Ariane 5's retirement, Europe faces a gap in available launch vehicles until the completion of the Ariane 6, which has experienced development delays. Lastly, we share a special story about the University of Glasgow's celebration of its links to Albert Einstein. Researchers from the School of Physics and Astronomy planted an apple tree cutting on the campus, taken from Einstein's Summer Home. This tribute honors Einstein's visit to the university 90 years ago, where he received an honorary degree for his contributions to physics. Glasgow scientists have also played a significant role in gravitational wave research, contributing to the detection of these waves and confirming Einstein's theory.

Hello! This is Ever Wonder? from the California Science Center. I'm Jennifer Aguirre.We humans might think we run the world… but we're vastly outnumbered by microscopic creatures we can't see with our own eyes. Soil, air, water… everything around us is full of these tiny microbes. Even a simple puddle can be teeming with life… Ever wonder what lives in a drop of water? On today's episode we chat with Chloé Savard, a microbiology student in Montreal who explores the microscopic world, or microverse, in her free time. She shares her findings through super cool and colorful videos on her Tardibabe social media accounts. We talked to Chloe all about her adventures hunting for microbes and what it's like to share science on social media. She also shared some pretty amazing facts about microbes along the way—check it out!Have a question you've been wondering about?

Last week, the James Webb Space Telescope released its first full-color images of the cosmos, finally showcasing why it is expected to be the world's premier space telescope.Ever wonder how scientists will use the James Webb Space Telescope?Today, we're going to meet someone who has been dreaming for years about what we could see with this technological marvel. Vivian U, PhD (@JustTheLetterU) is an assistant research astronomer at the University of California, Irvine. She will also be one of the first people to conduct research with the James Webb Space Telescope! Vivian explained to us what she hopes to discover by pointing Webb at colliding galaxies and supermassive black holes, and why this telescope is expected to be so good at peering through dust. Celebrate the launch of NASA's newest premiere space science observatory with more virtual activities and events from the California Science Center.Have a question you've been wondering about?
