MLK day inspires many emotions for me. One of the greatest aspects and insights that science teaches us is that we are all connected. The matter and energy that makes up all living things is shared and eternal. MLK inspires me to connect with these ideas and no one does it better than Carl Sagan. "Pale Blue Dot" is one of the most powerful pieces of writing ever created and I want to share it with you now. Listen to the words and let the concepts open you up to new perspectives.

Every time the PowerBall comes out people seem to go crazy about probability. In this episode I want you to ponder a exponentially greater probability... The probability of you!
You are mathematically improbable and this should make you smile. Using mathematics and genetics some people have attempted to calculate this crazy number. I don't want to spoil the surprise, but whatever you think is the number you are way off. Let's do this.

Some say that science knows less about the human brain than we do the Universe. New technologies have allowed science to dive into how the brain thinks and learns. Each episode of the podcast will try to get you stoked on life. Have you ever pondered the capacity for learning? Many times we think of learning as a crutch or requirement, but it is anything but. Each time you learn your brain is rewiring the neurons of the mind to form up new connects that will stick with you the rest of your life. You are wired to be you and you can learn anything you want. The infinite amount of stimuli all around can be inputted into your brain and become you. Learn something each day and you will deepen your connections to life.

Let the journey begin. I want to show you that science is the greatest motivational and inspiring story that one could ever hope for. I have been fascinated with this story for as long as I can remember. With each new piece of knowledge I have had the privilege of learning I have been able to add one more layer to my ideas of awe. Science shows you that the Universe that surrounds is infinity complex and therefore infinity special. Dive deep into the science of you and it will show you how deep you are. I hope this journey ends with passing on these ideas to others. Enjoy the ride, embrace the chaos.
