In this episode of the STEM Read Podcast, host Gillian King-Cargile (@gkingcargile) gives you an encore excerpt from one of NIU’s Future Telling Webinars . These free events bring together great minds from the worlds of writing and STEM to explore bleeding-edge research and its impact on our society and our sci-fi. Our guests are author S.L. Huang and physicist Rebecca C. Thompson . S. L. Huang (@sl_huang) is a Hugo-award winning author who justifies her MIT degree by using it to write eccentric mathematical superhero fiction. She is the author of The Cas Russell series of sci-fi thrillers from Tor Books, starting with  Zero Sum Game , as well as the fantasy  Burning Roses . She is also a Hollywood stuntwoman and firearms expert, and the first professional female armorer in the entertainment industry. Rebecca C.

On this episode, host Gillian King-Cargile (@gkingcargile) explores the gene editing tool CRISPR, used to create the breakthrough mRNA vaccines for COVID-19. First, she talks with biographer Walter Isaacson (@WalterIsaacson), author of Leonardo da Vinci and Steve Jobs , about his new book The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race . The book chronicles the discoveries surrounding CRISPR and the brilliant scientists racing toward publications, patents, and prizes. Next, Gillian talks to Mike Jones (@StemNinja), a science teacher at the Thomas Metcalf School in Normal, Illinois. Jones’ 8th grade class just spent six weeks studying everything from CRISPR’s molecular structure to its implications for medical ethics. We’ll also hear from some of his students, who will share their thoughts and insights on how CRISPR could edit humanity’s future. The STEM Read podcast is produced in association with WNIJ.

Some people are complaining that COVID-19 is not the pandemic they signed up for. It was supposed to be Zombies! E ven though we don’t have zombies, many of us have a roadmap for survival because of horror. In this episode, Gillian King-Cargile (@ gkingcargile ) talks with Carolyn C iesla (@ papersquared ) , dean of the Library and Learning Resources and Assessment at Prairie State College and part of Summer Scares, a committee that creates book lists and resources to help libraries connect readers with great horror fiction . They’ll talk about the Summer Scares program, horror as a comfort read, and the benefits of pleasure reading. Then Gillian talks with bestselling horror author Daniel Kraus (@ DanielDKraus ) ( Rotters , The Death and Life of Zebulon Finch , Bent Heavens ) about research, aliens, and his work to complete the late George Romero’s epic zombie novel The Living Dead . Summer really is a scream with the STEM Read Podcast. We’re also proud to announce the full lineup of

In this episode of the STEM Read Podcast, host Gillian King-Cargile (@gkingcargile) interviews author and filmmaker Alex Garland ( Ex Machina , Annihilation ) about his latest project, a mind-bending, tech-centric television series, Devs , and how he creates stories to satisfy his own curiosity about science and technology. Then Gillian is joined by physicist Rebecca C. Thompson (@mathlete79) to unpack Devs’ topics of quantum mechanics and determinism. Rebecca is head of the Office of Education and Public Outreach at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. She is also the creator of the Spectra comic book series and author of Fire, Ice, and Physics: The Science of Game of Thrones . She’ll give us a crash course in quantum computing, refresh our memories about Schrödinger's Cat, and share her take on the science behind Devs . We interviewed Alex Garland at C2E2 .
