Welcome to the Beyond the Physics Podcast!

Beyond the Physics is a podcast run by Joseph Guzman and Irene Roman, graduate Physicists, who hope to learn more about the universe, and the people that make up the culture behind the science. Come along as we hope to tackle some of the most difficult, and thought provoking questions of our time, and shatter the notions of what it takes to be a physicist.
