Cool Science Radio

On Cool Science Radio, Dr. Michio Kaku discusses his new book: THE GOD EQUATION: The Quest for a Theory of Everything. Einstein dedicated his life to seeking this elusive Holy Grail, a single, revolutionary “God equation” which would tie all the forces in the universe together. Unfortunately, he never found it. Some of the greatest minds in physics took up the search, from Stephen Hawking to Brian Greene. Now, many leading physicists believe that we are finally converging on the solution.

On Cool Science Radio , John and Lynn are talking with Aimee Quon. Quon is from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and will be enlightening us on Mars. Topics include the the fact that the atmosphere on Mars is about 100 times thinner than on Earth. The thin air makes it incredibly difficult to fly, but NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter is about to attempt this feat.

On Cool Science Radio , Lynn and John talk with Dr. Dan Riskin, Founder, and CEO of Verantos, a company dedicated to using AI, Artificial Intelligence and real-world evidence to drive change and equality in healthcare. Covid has exposed something that the medical industry has known for a long time, medical research and treatment doesn't involve a cross-section of the population. Looking forward, the intersection of technology and healthcare could change all of that.

On Cool Science Radio , John and Lynn have renowned Cambridge zoologist Arik Kershenbaum. Kershenbaum has written THE ZOOLOGIST’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY: What Animals on Earth Reveal About Aliens—and Ourselves . This book is a fun exploration of what life on other planets must be like: how they may move, socialize, and communicate.

On Cool Science Radio , Lynn and John talk with Jess Phoenix, a woman who finds adventure in science. Her book is called Ms. Adventure, My Wild Explorations in Science, Lava, and Life. As a volcanologist, natural hazards expert, and founder of Blueprint Earth, Phoenix has dedicated her life to scientific exploration. Her career path— which has been hard-earned in the male-dominated world of science—has led her to flowing Hawaiian lava fields, congressional races, and numerous pairs of

On Cool Science Radio , Lynn and John welcome New York Times t echnology correspondent and former senior writer at Wired Magazine , Cade Metz. Metz is the author of GENIUS MAKERS: The Mavericks Who Brought AI to Google, Facebook, and the World. This interesting read brings us into the world of Artificial Intelligence... from how it came to be to where it could take us. Metz examines big questions about privacy, security, and bias, and shares his compelling finds.

On this episode of Cool Science Radio: Jeff Hawkins introduces us to new ideas outlined in his book, A Thousand Brains, A new theory of Intelligence. Hawkins shares a groundbreaking new theory on intelligence, showing how the brain uses maplike structures to build a model of the world-not just one model, but hundreds of thousands, which then vote together to reach a consensus.

This week on Cool Science Radio, Lynn and John are joined by Neil deGrasse Tyson to discuss his new book, Cosmic Queries: StarTalk’s guide to Who We Are, How We Got Here, and Where We’re Going . Building on the wisdom of the ancients and explaining the most significant science of today, Tyson takes readers on a journey from past to future, punctuated with stunning images portraying not only the universe but also the key ideas that help us understand it.

On this episode of Cool Science Radio : Park City resident and assistant state paleontologist Don Deblieux talks about The Utah Raptor Megablock Fossil Project. The Utah Geological Survey holds what is likely the most spectacular dinosaur fossil assemblage ever collected in the state.
