Daniel Whiteson, a Professor of Physics and Astronomy at UC Irvine, is the guest on this fun, free-wheeling 50th episode of the Nanovation podcast.

Be sure not to miss Daniel’s outreach and communication efforts, especially those in collaboration with his friend and colleague, Jorge Cham. These include the podcast "Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe," the book "We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Known Universe," and a kids television show launching in 2020 on PBS called "Elinor Wonders Why."
