S1E8 Charles Day and El Café Odioso

My guest today is Charles Day. Charles is the Editor-in-chief of Physics Today, arguably the most important magazine in the world dedicated to the physical sciences.  I am producing this episode *primarily* to make amends to the larger field of physics. You see, in an ironic twist, UC Santa Barbara is both home to the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, and my alma mater - A place where I avoided taking anything to do with physics, even if it meant becoming that one guy who earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Computer Science. I kid. Charles has degrees in both physics and astronomy, and he even worked for NASA for a spell. Perhaps more important than any of this, Charles is a fellow writer and gastronome who adores traveling to eat, and he’s a friend. One with whom I’ve shared some fantastic dinners and the search for perfection in the kitchen. I hear he’s got a thing for Japan, too. Here’s our chat.
