In our latest episode of the Oswego Alumni Podcast, our host, Dee McGowan Perkins '85 speaks with Earl Bellinger '12, astrophysicist and postdoctoral research fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Germany, instructor at Yale University and Rock Musician.
Earl discusses how the study of variable star data impacts important health and environmental decisions here on Earth; the endless limitations and capabilities of A.I.; whether aliens are real, what the sounds of the sun can tell us; and why astrophysicists tend to be fantastic musicians.
