Thought Leaders... But LofiElon Musk's Caltech Address (feat. fthmlss)Elon Musk gave an incredibly insightful speech at Caltech back in 2012. One of my favorite parts about this speech is that it provided insight into the way Musk sees the world - and the way he problem-solves. He is most attracted to the biggest problems of humanity, which is always intriguing to think about.
In this episode, we're hearing sounds from the amazing lofi producer "Fthmlss" - his music is incredible and goes so well with this speech. Plus, I got to sit down and have a chat with him - there are some really interesting production tips and insights...2020-07-1000 minThe Lonely IdeaEarth's Vital SignsHow did a love of history lead to a breakthrough career that, among other things, successfully took the body temperatures of dinosaurs?

These reactions are fundamental to processes such as how we breathe air and break down food. They also can be used to find mistakes in DNA associated with cancer and other diseases.Jackie Barton is the John G. Kirkwood and Arthur A. Noyes Professor of Chemistry at Caltech.2020-05-2829 minThe Lonely IdeaTrusting a Gut InstinctWhile traditionally considered notorious, what if some bacteria actually help the immune system rather than harm it? Caltech microbiologist Sarkis Mazmanian describes his efforts to harness the good bugs in our guts to improve health for people with Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and autism—his idea once dismissed as a "hunch" but now gaining acceptance from scientists and society.Sarkis Mazmanian is the Luis B. and Nelly Soux Professor of Microbiology and a Heritage Medical Research Institute Investigator at Caltech.2020-05-2732 minThe Lonely IdeaThe Lonely Idea TrailerIn The Lonely Idea podcast series, six Caltech faculty members talk with host Rich Wolf about what can happen when sparks of innovation have the chance to become popular science.

Slice of MIT PodcastSecrets of the Caltech Cannon HeistOn March 28, 2006, a group of young men, disguised as movers and armed with phony work orders, arrived on the Caltech’s Pasadena campus. Within a few hours, the crew departed with the college’s two-ton Fleming Canon in tow. Eight days later, the canon reappeared 3,000 miles away, on MIT campus, with a massive MIT class ring on its barrel.
The movers, it turns out, were MIT students who had just carried out perhaps the longest-distance MIT hack of all time.
