About the podcast

Physics is one of the core sciences. It studies matter, motion, energy, force, and how these all relate and behave in our universe. The history of physics, of course, looks at the development of physics throughout history, usually starting with the ancient Greeks, and going up to the present day. The philosophy of physics studies the most fundamental questions underlying modern physics. Investigating topics like the nature of time or probability.

In this podcast, I combine both history and philosophy in what I hope is an interesting view into the wonderful world of physics!

About the host

I (Teagan) have studied history, philosophy, and physics at the University of Cambridge, University of British Columbia, and Okanagan College.
In 2022, I graduated with an MPhil in the History and Philosophy of Science and Medicine from the University of Cambridge, writing my dissertation on the compatibility of the ABC theories of time with quantum mechanics.
I am currently studying history as a graduate student at the University of Oxford and am also working at the university (hence why I have such limited podcasting time (T_T)).

I work professionally in communications and events, and particularly love science communication. I started in this area when I founded the UBC Young Women for STEM in 2017, and am excited to have found even more ways of discussing research and exploring fascinating topics!

Apart from podcasting, I like to spend my spare time acting, doing publicity and graphic design, dancing, and hiking.

Starting up this podcast was one of my pandemic projects in 2020 and I hope to continue it for many years to come!
