You can just rate and review on Google Podcasts

or Apple Podcasts or anywhere you get your podcast. Maybe Spotify maybe Pandora. I think I'm in all those places

Yeah, but you know what enough about that. Let's dive into the show.

Super exciting episode this week and the first time that I got to do an in-studio recording

in quite some time, actually in my brand new studio, so it was a bit messy but she put up with me

Dr Sabrina Steerwald she's an extra-galactic astrophysicist and she's

interested in the formation and evolution of galaxies.

Now she is just started a new job at Occidental, so she was just down the street

from me before we did our recording, which was very exciting.

And I know you're going to love this chat just as much as I did.

So without any further ado, here she is Dr. Sabrina Steerwall.

Well, Sabrina, thank you so much for joining me today.

Thanks for having me.
