HTP #079 - Dr. Mohamed Noor

  • Summary

  • In addition to being the Dean of Natural Sciences at Duke University, Dr. Mohamed Noor is also a giant Star Trek fan, and has the opportunity to act as a science advisor on Season 3 of Star Trek: Discovery. Not only was he on the team that developed the scientific rationale behind “The Burn”, he and Dr. Erin Macdonald (episodes #13 and #51) wrote a detailed article titled The Science Behind Discovery’s Burn that fleshes out the details for the science-minded viewers. This episode of Hungry Trilobyte features he and I discussing how it’s now acceptable to use fandom in academia, whereas that was not always the case. We spend a lot more time just hashing out scientific weirdness (and accidental accuracies) within our favorite Star Trek episodes. — See Show Notes at www.AaronBossig.com Follow me on Twitter - @AaronBossig Podcast logo and graphics by Marcie London www.MarcieLondon.com - @MarcieStarfleet
