This week Behind the Beaker, the Daily Wildcat science podcast, heads to the stars — or asteroids in this case! Host and science reporter Jillian Bartch talks with Ronald Ballouz, a post doc at the Lunar Planetary Lab at the University of Arizona about his research with asteroids. He answers questions like why they are there, why we study them and what importance will they hold to solving bigger scientific problems. Ballouz also talks about his recent work with the asteroid Bennu and his work with NASA.
Behind the Beaker is a podcast about the unbelievable science and even more unbelievable scientists behind it at the University of Arizona. Weekly episodes will feature scientists from across the board. This podcast is a Daily Wildcat production created by Alexandre Pere in association with Arizona Student Media.
