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 will combine both history and philosophy in what I hope to be an interesting overview of the wonderful world of physics!
About the host
I (Teagan) recently graduated with a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) Degree in the History and Philosophy of Science and Medicine from the University of Cambridge. I wrote my MPhil dissertation on the compatibility of the ABC theories of time with quantum mechanics.
I also hold an Associate of Arts Degree from Okanagan College in Kelowna, B.C. and a Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, B.C. (physics major, philosophy minor).
I really enjoy science communication and outreach and am the founder of the UBC Young Women for STEM. Outside of podcasting, I like to spend my spare time acting, dancing, narrating books on Facebook, and watching British crime dramas.
Starting up this podcast was one of my pandemic projects in 2020 and I hope to continue it for many years to come!
