Episode #23: "Small Angles, Big Insights: Small-Angle Scattering Explained (Materials & Insights)" with Dr. Brian Pauw

Just two nerds talking about small-angle scattering 🤓 🤝 🤓 I am fully aware that this is a super nerdy topic, but if anyone can get you excited about the magic of scattering X-rays (or neutrons) at small angles, it's Brian Richard Pauw from Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung! 🙌 Tune in to find out why scattering is so powerful, what you can do with it, and where the hidden pitfalls lie ⚛️ And what do nerds love more than going down one rabbit hole? Right, going down the next rabbit hole! I love how after about 30 minutes, the episode slowly drifts away from scattering and circles around science communication, the dark side of science, and how to fight the inner imposter. It was a lot of fun talking to you Brian, thanks for joining in! 🙏

Just two nerds talking about small-angle scattering 🤓 🤝 🤓

I am fully aware that this is a super nerdy topic, but if anyone can get you excited about the magic of scattering X-rays (or neutrons) at small angles, it's Brian Richard Pauw from Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung! 🙌


Tune in to find out why scattering is so powerful, what you can do with it, and where the hidden pitfalls lie ⚛️

And what do nerds love more than going down one rabbit hole? Right, going down the next rabbit hole! I love how after about 30 minutes, the episode slowly drifts away from scattering and circles around science communication, the dark side of science, and how to fight the inner imposter.

It was a lot of fun talking to you Brian, thanks for joining in! 🙏
