Tiny Stars, Huge Planets - Dr. Edward Bryant, UCL Space & Climate Physics

Dr Edward Bryant is a Research Fellow in Exoplanets Characterization at University College London. His research has uncovered the existence of giant planets in orbit around low-mass stars, potentially upsetting our current paradigms of solar system formation. We discuss the detection of planets in strange places, the odd distribution of heavy stuff in our solar system, and the art of piercing the veil of uncertainty that hangs over our understanding of the cosmos

PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University. When not talking to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various universities.
