Shawn Carlson
Physicist
December 4, 1999

McCarthur Foundation Grant Recipient and Physicist Shawn Carlson chats with Michael about the state of science. You don't have to be a professional scientist to make fantastic discoveries. You can just be someone with some interest, a hot water bottle, some tubing and a dining room chair. You'll be extra successful if you can keep your concentration when the Mariachi band comes by.

Check out the Society for Amateur Scientists online.

Listen in as Michael declares that science should be more of a sporting event.
