Last Tuesday, I spoke alongside some truly inspirational scientists who blew me away with their research, enthusiasm and depth of knowledge. The event was called Science & Storytelling and focused on people with different backgrounds and areas of expertise coming together to discuss the importance of promoting science.

Summer Ash is an astrophysicist and the Director of Outreach for Columbia University’s Department of Astronomy. It was amazing hearing her talk with infectiously charismatic astrophysicist, Jedidah Isler,  about black holes and blazars.

Francis Slakey is a Georgetown physics professor who heads up an energy prize to reward community sustainability and combat climate change.

Mike Rugnetta is the wickedly talented writer and host of PBS Idea Channel and a very good friend of mine.

I could listen to Hopi Hoekstra talk about her research with mice all day. Her lab at Harvard studies absolutely everything about genetic adaptation from morphology to behavior. Discussing what we can learn about our genes through the study of mice is nothing short of fascinating.

Emily Carter sold me on fusion energy. She is the founding director of the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment at Princeton University. Her insights into renewable energy are incredible.

Finally our moderator for the event was Law & Order: SVU writer, Samantha Corbin-Miller.

It was a great event and I hope to keep in touch with many of these brilliant minds leading the charge for discovery, innovation and learning.

Super excited to announce the launch of my collaboration with Terminator Genisys and specifically Arnold Schwarzenegger. I make a cameo in The YouTube Chronicles and also have an amazing appearance of the Terminator himself in my latest episode of Mind Blow.

Huge thanks to everyone at the YouTube Space LA that hooked me up with this opportunity – I’m really happy with how it turned out!

Metro Article

My article for Metro on “How To Gadget-Proof Your Commute” was just published! When approached to write a Vsauce2 column I decided to take a page out of the LÜT handbook of showing off unique products and put together the perfect list of tech for commuters.

Metro newspaper has 1.2 million readers and is distributed for free typically in public transit hubs so converting LÜT into a commuter-focused column was actually a fun challenge. Go pick up a physical copy!
