EDIT: I also apologize for my somewhat scratchy voice as I have been sick all week! I was just glad I was able to talk well enough to record tonight :)

Comment your favorite things from the articles not discussed in my podcast! 
One thing I liked that I failed to mention was when Dr. Meg Urry, former Chair of the Yale Physics department, said she was "a disaster" in chem lab as an undergrad. I can really relate to this!
