Welcome to the scientists, a new podcast under the umbrella of the Into the Impossible Brain.

I'm your host, Brian Keating, the Chancellor's Distinguished Professor of Physics at UC San Diego.

And each week on the scientist, I dive into the life and legacy of a legendary scientist, an

experimentalist, a theorist, an observer, all of them, uncovering insights you can apply to

your own work and your own worldview.

Science didn't appear fully formed.

It was built by real people, solving real problems under pressure with very human desires. Their ideas still

shape our future. We'll examine not just what they discovered, what drove them to make those

discoveries, and most importantly of all, who they were, from their obsessions and honors to their

most spectacular ideas, their most brilliant blunders, and their most beautiful of all

human's laws.

I've spent my life obsessed with the minds that have shaped our scientific understanding of

reality, and I aim to do for science what the podcast guru known as Dave Senra does for business leaders on his founder's podcast.

This is sort of a version of that, a scientific founders, how they founded and forged our

understanding of the cosmos, both on earth, in the heavens, and even in the microcosm, the innercosm of our minds.

I'll be talking about everything that we talk about on the podcast with our generative guests.

Hmm.

Except I won't have any guests on this podcast, and I won't have any video.

I'll push it to video channels just for distribution.

But this will be an audio-only podcast,

which will hopefully let me go deeper into storytelling and kind of the backstories

behind these wonderful books that shaped who I am,
