On this Eager To Know re-release, we speak with a person who is both a scientist and a punk rocker. It was refreshing to discuss a topic I am very passionate about, but don’t discuss often—science. Thank you, Karen, for creating such a great episode with me.

This is probably my favorite Eager To Know episode. George’s emotional storytelling really resonates with me. Listening to this again makes me grateful I started this podcast and captured this conversation. The Hoffheimer gallery in Chicago represents George.
