Science communication often attracts people with diverse interests, who thrive in multiple roles. Paul Sutter is no exception: he's an astrophysicist, host, author and more. He's also a visiting professor at Barnard College, Columbia University. Paul's roots are in computational science, and he shares how his many projects continue to build on that foundation. We also discuss his most recent book: Rescuing Science: Restoring Trust in an Age of Doubt, which critiques today's scientific enterprise and and offers ideas for supporting a better future. You'll meet: Paul M. Sutter is a theoretical cosmologist, science communicator, media host, NASA advisor and U.S. cultural ambassador. He is currently a visiting professor at Barnard College, Columbia University. He completed his physics Ph.D. in 2011 at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where he was supported by a Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship. He also held a joint position as chief scientist at the Center of Science and Industry in Columbus, Ohio, and as a cosmological researcher at the Ohio State University.
