GUEST OVERVIEW: Gordon Fulks Ph.D received a BS in Physics in 1967 and went on to get an MS and PhD in Physics, all from the University of Chicago. He worked initially for the Laboratory for Astrophysics and Space Research at the Enrico Fermi Institute of the University of Chicago Laboratory for Astrophysics; Mission Research Corporation, Corbett, Oregon studying the solar modulation of galactic cosmic rays, using a large charged-particle spectrometer flown in the Arctic.

David Schmitz is the Associate Professor of the Department of Physics. He studies neutrinos, subatomic particle that plays a big role in the universe. But Prof. Schmitz started off as an architectural engineering major in college when he discovered his passion for physics through a core class. As he found great mentors, and opportunities to research at Antarctica and in the Fermi Lab along his career path, he eventually chose to be a professor at the University of Chicago. 

Professor Daniel Holz from the Department of Physics, Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics, Enrico Fermi Institute, and Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics researched Einstein's theory of gravity, focusing on black holes and gravitational waves. In this episode, Professor Holz talks about his days as an international student in the Philippines, his interest in poetry, physics, and maths, and how he eventually found his passion in black holes. Prof. Holz talked about his career path and how he became a University of Chicago professor studying things that he loves.

Professor Yau W. Wah talks about how a teacher in junior high sparked his passion for physics, and what he's learned in his long career at The University of Chicago.

Gravitational Waves, Black hole mergers, Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and upcoming space based LISA project. Prof Daniel Holz is a professor of Physics, Astronomy & Astrophysics at the University of Chicago, the Enrico Fermi Institute, and the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics. His research focuses on general relativity in the context of astrophysics and cosmology. He is a member of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) collaboration, and was part of the team that announced the first detection of gravitational waves in early 2016 and the first multi-messenger detection of a binary neutron star in 2017. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/scientificsense/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/scientificsense/support

Back in mid -August of 2018 as a phalanx of reporters and social media attendees awaited the launch of the Parker Solar Probe, we were all given a grand opportunity to listen to and glean a little wisdom from Dr. Eugene Parker, the spacecraft’s namesake. Dr. Parker’s contributions unveiled the supersonic nature of the  Sun’s solar wind, an observation he was at first ridiculed for but eventually was proven correct by the Mariner 2  spacecraft. This was an unprecedented opportunity and one that was not announced until those in attendance were told to stay for an incredible thirty minutes of wisdom from the 92-year-old astrophysicist. This rare 30-minute event so far as we know, has never been broadcast in its entirety. NASA indicated they planned to use segments however no other media outlet has offered any of the contents of the event, until now.    Born on July 10, 1927, Dr. Parker Received his Bachelor’s Degree in Physics from Michigan State University in 1948, and his PhD. from the California Institute of Technology in 1951. He then spent 4 years at the University of Utah then the University of Chicago form 1955 until present day. Dr. Parker developed a theory on the supersonic nature of the solar wind and predicted the spiral shape of the solar magnetic field in the outer solar system. His predictions were very controversial in fact two reviewer’s rejected Dr. Parker’s work outright. His theories were later published and in the 1960’s proven by the Mariner 2 Satellite.  Dr. Parker’s work contributed greatly to the understanding of the nature of the solar wind, the solar corona and magnetic fields.  He is the S. Chandrasekhar Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus of the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the Enrico Fermi Institute, University of Chicago and recipient of the Medal for Exceptional Achievement in Research from the American Physical Society.  NASA named the Parker Solar Probe to honor his body of work and is contribution to the field of heliophysics. Dr. Parker is the only living scientist to have a spacecraft named in his honor. To learn more about Dr. Eugene Parker,  click here.

Horton Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics in the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics, the Enrico Fermi Institute, and the College, has been selected to deliver the Divinity School's John Nuveen Lecture for 2014. The title of his lecture is "It is Not the Heat, It is the Humility: The Limits of Knowledge." A 1971 graduate of the University of Chicago (PhD in Astrophysics), Professor York uses a variety of orbiting and ground based telescopes to study the interstellar medium – the rarefied dust and gas in space – to learn about the origin of the elements, galaxy formation and quasars. John S. Nuveen was one of Chicago’s most influential business leaders and an active civil and cultural leader with ties to many educational institutions. At the University of Chicago, he served as chairman of the University’s Alumni Association and as a trustee of the Baptist Theological Union, who established the Nuveen lecture in 1972 and manage an endowment that supports the University of Chicago Divinity School. Each year, a prominent member of the University's faculty is invited by the BTU and the Divinity School to deliver the lecture.
