Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/seanmcarroll Here is a special bonus punishment treat for Mindscape listeners: an interview of me, by David Zierler of the American Institute of Physics’s Oral History project. This is a fantastic project that collects interviews with influential physicists of all ages, and apparently sometimes less-influential physicists. So if you’d like to hear my (academic) life story boiled down to a mere four hours, here you go! It’s well worth checking out the AIP Oral History Project website, which has over 1000 fascinating interviews with physicists from different decades: https://www.aip.org/history-programs/niels-bohr-library/oral-histories The transcript of this particular interview can be found there: https://www.aip.org/history-programs/niels-bohr-library/oral-histories/45034 Thanks to David and the AIP for letting us include this as a bonus podcast episode.
