Dr. Enrique Lopez Rodriguez is an astrophysicist at Stanford’s Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology, where is working on a comprehensive survey of magnetic fields in nearby galaxies. He has published extensively on the subjects of extragalactic magnetism, active galactic nuclei, infrared polarimetric instrument, and next generation telescopes. We talk about studying the invisible, developing models for the structure of the cosmos, becoming the highest Canarian that ever lived, the value of mad geniuses, becoming useful, and much more.

PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University. When not talking to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various universities.
