EOT 429 Science Communication and Outreach with Dr. Kasey Wagoner

Breyton Hill interviews Dr. Kasey Wagoner, a physics professor at NC State, about his career journey, science communication and outreach, as well as why everyone should care about physics. Originally a business major, Dr. Wagoner fell in love with physics after taking an astronomy course in undergrad. He describes how cool it was to ask questions about the origin of the universe and eventually test for the idea of other universes in his PhD. The pair then discusses how to make physics not only accessible but fun. Dr. Wagoner shares about Science on Tap , a place to combine learning with good beer at Lynnwood Brewing Concern. Dr. Wagoner also describes how physics can explain different phenomena of sports. For more about his Sport Science work, you can read his articles on Substack . Lastly, Breyton asks about Dr. Wagoner’s most recent achievement: a digital science communication fellowship. Dr. Wagoner explains some of his ideas he hopes to come out of that fellowship and shares some advice he would give his 20-year-old self. Breyton ends the interview with the Breyton Interrogation: a series of questions to get to know you rather than what you do. ★ Support this podcast ★
