Consilience with Pete and Charlie: the Intersection of Science and the Humanities

Pete and Charlie confront Nabokov, sleep-deprivation, technophobes, music as language, and the sublime.

Pete and Charlie pound on Star Wars, Disneyland, 70s movies, superhero comic books, Shaft, narrative structure, healthcare, and Byzantine art.

Pete and Charlie burn through morality, reality television, Christian living, lowest common denominators, Nature's God, the Veritas Forum, and Pete's problem.

Pete and Charlie paw through GT-1000, student engagement, open-ended assignments, photographic language, for-profit education, and finding the big money.

Pete and Charlie pound on poetry, protective language, popular culture, PV=nRT, punctuated equilibriums, and previous podcasts.

Pete and Charlie examine the Woodward-Hoffmann rules, useful mistakes, Theoretical Chemistry Day, GT 2803, erudition, Eloi and Morlocks, and selling out. 

Pete and Charlie delve into privilege, dead chairs, teaching Shakespeare, Roald Hoffmann, roman a clefs, Bret Easton Ellis, predictive models, and uncomfortable race talk. 

Pete and Charlie stir up house buying, one-man shows, intellectual busking, reactants, catalysis, cooking meth, design heuristics, and Hawai'i.

Pete and Charlie reflect on medical examinations, bedside manners, aging, invasive procedures, metaphorical responses, and Jello.

Pete and Charlie should read more about Living With Complexity, better books, the Georgia Tech Drug and Alcohol policy, crowd work, the First-Year Reading program, freshmen, extra credit, and academic community.
