“Hey! I got a question about that” A new podcast/video series from the Eberly College of Science

The Eberly College of Science at Penn State launched a new podcast/video series. In “Hey! I got a question about that,” co-hosts Nate Follmer, videographer extraordinaire and science newb, and Sam Sholtis, science writer and former research scientist, discuss burning—and sometimes not so burning—questions on the leading edge of science with scientists in the college who are actually doing the research.

In episode one, “Alien Life,” Nate and Sam travel to Penn State’s observatory on the roof of Davey Laboratory to talk to Jason Wright, associate professor of astronomy and astrophysics, about the possibility of life out there in the universe. Does it exist and what are the methods that researchers are using to look for it?

An audio version of the podcast is available to stream or download from iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Buzzsprout, and Spotify. A video version can be viewed on the Eberly College of Science YouTube page. New episodes will post monthly on the first Monday of the month.
