]]> They Finished Their Physics PhDs—Now What? Irene Roman, Joseph Guzman 02:25:12 Glad to share this conversation with you all. Today we are chatting with Gustavo and Angelica, two recent PhD physics graduates who are transitioning into post graduate life. Gustavo is moving to France immediately to pursue Post Doctoral work at the intersection of High Energy Physics and Gravity research. Gustavo will be temporarily leaving behind his partner, Angelica, who has decided to leave academia favoring industry postions. To make things more complicated, they want to remain together, yet the realities of unstable living situations in academia and immigration concerns compound the uncertainies of this ongoing transitional period. We discuss how they intend to navigate this transition, how we each got involved in physics and how to try and find balance in the midst of it all. Be sure to leave lots of love for them in the comments! Glad to share this conversation with you all.

]]> Balancing Acts: Navigating the Utility of Religion and Facing the Abyss with Terence Terence, Irene Roman, Joseph Guzman 02:18:22 Trying out some new technology to generate this summary, suggestions on how to best format or present this information is welcome. HOUR 1 1. Utility of Religion One speaker has shifted from a strong atheist stance to recognizing the utility of religion in society, particularly as a moral guiding force and a provider of hope and direction for the general population. 2. Religion and Societal Stability The speaker believes that religion is one of the elements holding civil society together and that most people need religion as a foundation for a stable society. 3. Religion as an Existential Goal The speaker suggests that religion can serve as an existential goal, providing something greater than oneself to strive for, which is important for self-actualization. 4. Religious Rituals The speaker sees value in religious rituals, which provide a regular opportunity to reflect on one's place in the universe and contribute to something greater than oneself. 5. Atheism and Religion Despite recognizing the benefits of religion, the speaker maintains their atheist stance, separating their personal disbelief in a deity from the societal benefits of religious practice. 6. Religion's Evolution The speaker expresses optimism that religion can evolve over time, shedding some of the more outdated or scientifically inaccurate beliefs while retaining its positive aspects. 7. Education and Understanding Another speaker emphasizes the importance of education and understanding one's own biology and psychology over religious explanations, advocating for a more fact-based approach to knowledge. 8. Physics as Spiritual Fulfillment One speaker finds a form of spiritual fulfillment in the study of physics, which provides a sense of connection to the universe and a framework for ethical considerations. HOUR 2 9. Work and Compensation The speakers discuss the imbalance between effort and monetary compensation in certain jobs, particularly in academia, where the effort does not match the salary. 10. Freedom and Flexibility There's a conversation about the freedom and flexibility in academia versus industry jobs, with academia offering more flexibility in terms of work hours and the ability to take sabbaticals. 11. Bureaucracy in Academia One speaker expresses the view that bureaucracy in academia can be overwhelming and can impede the freedom to research. 12. Career Paths The speakers explore different career paths, weighing the pros and cons of academia, industry, starting a business, and the importance of finding a path that aligns with personal needs for flexibility. 13. Life's Golden Ticket The concept of a 'golden ticket' in life is discussed, suggesting that there is no perfect path in life, and one may need to pave their own way. 14. Graduate School Experience A speaker reflects on their time in graduate school, expressing no regrets and valuing the knowledge and skills gained over obtaining a degree. 15. Value of Credentials The speakers debate the importance of credentials like degrees, suggesting that skills and abilities can be more important than formal qualifications. 16. Existential Thoughts The speakers share their experiences with existential thoughts and the process of staring into the abyss to find clarity and understanding in life. 17. Emotional Awareness The discussion touches on the importance of understanding and identifying emotions, and the lack of tools like emotion wheels in education. 18. Personal Growth The speakers talk about the necessity of breaking down and rebuilding oneself to align with personal values and to achieve self-actualization. FINAL MINUTES 19. Teaching nihilism and existentialism to kids The speaker expresses the desire to teach kids about nihilism and existentialism, but acknowledges the potential challenges and risks involved in introducing such heavy philosophical concepts to young minds. 20. Facing fears and exploring the unknown The speakers discuss the importance of facing fears and having the courage to explore the unknown, drawing parallels between personal experiences and the themes of darkness and fear. 21. Innate curiosity and truth-seeking The speakers reflect on their innate curiosity and desire for truth, discussing how this trait may have influenced their career paths and personal philosophies. 22. Ethical considerations in informed consent The speakers delve into a hypothetical discussion about informed consent, applying the concept to both human and animal scenarios, and emphasizing the importance of providing all relevant information for individuals to make informed choices. 23. Humorous take on 'The Matrix' The conversation takes a lighthearted turn as the speakers humorously discuss the concept of 'The Matrix' and the hypothetical scenarios related to consent and choice within the context of the movie.

]]> Kintsugi with Michael Jaramillo Joseph Guzman, Irene Roman, Michael Jaramillo 02:50:06 Kintsugi (golden joinery) is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a method similar to the maki-e technique. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise. On this episode, we have a special guest Michael Jaramillo. We chat about how he cultivated his passion for observational astronomy. The disconnect between pursuing a passion for astronomy and how school prepares you. We go into detail about difficult experiences in graduate school. Having a very difficult research advisor to work with. Experiencing prejudice with this advisor because Michael was a bridge student. Securing a research group in astronomy, then being forced into studying elsewhere, landing in condensed matter experiment. Michael goes into detail surrounding a perceived near death experience with an incredibly strong magnet. Finally we arrive at the present, where Michael discusses unpacking the damage done in graduate school. Michael has begun exploring photography and skateboarding, which we are happy to share in the links below! Joe also goes into some more detail surrounding a recent explosive conflict with his advisor. We hope you enjoy the show!

]]> How Moon Knight Changed My Life Joseph Guzman 00:53:29 In this episode Joe describes a mental excercise that came about through watching the TV series Moon Knight found on Disney + Streaming ( Not a sponsor ). The Protagonist of the show experiences a version of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), and has two major personas Marc and Steven, who have very different goals. As such Joe identifies who are his "Marc" and "Steven", what are their beliefs (within himself), and how that manifested as internal conflict, and how the awareness of their existence brought about more peace and integration. Therefore this mental excercise helped bring clarity to key identity work, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I want to be?" Perhaps you could find value in this excercise for yourself or people you care about.

]]> Fathers Day Special Part 1- John Guzman Irene Roman, Joseph Guzman 02:42:29 On today's episode we are interviewing my father, John Guzman. This is part 1 of a 2 part series meant to be in honor of father's day (belated by this point for sure). But in this conversation we cover ground on aliens, John's prolific spiritual journey, abortion, potential trump re-election, the second law of thermodynamics, the definition of God, and life after death. Again this podcast turned somewhat topical, because not long after it was recorded, the supreme court ruled to uphold abortion rights in Louisana, a link is provided in the episode notes.

This is part 1 of a 2 part series meant to be in honor of father's day (belated by this point for sure). But in this conversation we cover ground on aliens, John's prolific spiritual journey, abortion, potential trump re-election, the second law of thermodynamics, the definition of God, and life after death.

]]> The Prestige of Puerto Rico - Gabriel Rodriguez Irene Roman, Joseph Guzman 02:31:55 On today's podcast, Irene and I are joined by our friend Gabriel Rodriguez. Gabriel is a graduate physics student who does research in hadronic physics. We come to understand Gabe's motivations for studying physics as well as his specific sub-field. Having started out as an accounting major, Gabe's individual path proves quite interesting. We learn about some of his upbringing in Puerto Rico, and discuss how the cultural differences discussed could provide value to his scientific perspective. We also talk about what we consider the most important problems in physics at the moment, which covers a lot of ground. Later we divulge our opinions on the state of diversity in the field, and whether inclusivity is a worthwhile endeavor in physics. I always appreciate Gabe's ability to provide a unique perspective, and feel we learned a lot from each other throughout this exchange. Hopefully you walk away with something as well. Side Note: Apologies for the late upload, been busy studying for qualifying exams and the such, you can help out upload speed by simply telling us what you would like to hear next.

]]> Is Morality Objective? Ft. Eigenbros Joseph Guzman, Irene Roman 01:48:36 On this episode we are collaborating with the Eigenbros Podcast. Eigenbros is run by two physicists, Juan and Terence, both of which have been on our show previously. Note that you can find this same conversation on their Youtube channel if that is of interest to you. The topic of tonight’s discussion is whether morality is objective. For those of you uninitiated, this should be a fun and enlightening conversation. Otherwise if you feel that someone made a considerable blunder, let us know and perhaps we can update our understanding. Also note that all of us are physicists, so apologies if we bastardize the state of philosophy on this. Regardless this is a very interesting topic to discuss, and one if true, would have drastic implications on how we ought to structure our society. We try to cover as much ground as possible in this episode, but there is easily room for more discussion on this. Whether you agree with our positions or not, hopefully you found the conversation interesting and if we can hope further, elucidating. Thanks for listening, I appreciate you, and if you enjoyed it as much as we did, please let us know by liking, commenting, subscribing, on whatever platform you're listening to this on. That way we can know whether to make more content like this in the future. On this episode we are collaborating with the Eigenbros Podcast.

Sahana is also a graduate student in physics with an emphasis on astronomy. We explore Sahana's motivations for getting into the field and we all reflect on the improbability of us getting into graduate school. But overall, we cover a wide range of topics today, focusing on the most important problems with the culture in physics, and discussing the barriers to entry for success in the field. In particular, we get an in-depth look at what it feels like to be a woman in physics and/or astronomy. We also talk about Aliens; from the Fermi-Paradox, to the Drake Equation, and the definitions of life, we explore this phase space from many angles. I personally walked away from this conversation with many insights on the field and my place in it, so I hope that you too can find value in this.

]]> "F#*k your ideas" - Juan Mejia Joseph Guzman, Irene Roman 03:11:50 On this episode of the Beyond the Physics Podcast, Irene and I are joined by our friend Juan Mejia (Not to be confused with our previous guest). Juan and I have known each other for a long time, having met in our undergraduate program at Cal State Long Beach, we both graduated around the same time, and happened to both accept an offer to the same physics graduate school program. To know Juan Mejia is certainly a joy in the unapologetic fervor with which he lives his life. Much of tonight's conversation revolves around Juan's motivations, and how he pushes forward in the face of adversity (perhaps you'll find a gem or two in there for yourself). We spent considerable time talking about the education system, and our perceived issues with it. At some point we have a discussion on parenting strategies, specifically on the appropriateness of "whooping" your kids. It will probably become apparent that Juan has a passion for working out, and so throughout, he was an advocate for living an active lifestyle, and reflects on how it is necessary for him to push his body for his well-being. Also we talk about Juan's general perspective on the world, and how it's useful for him to "shut off his brain". There are many other topics we discuss, but hopefully that summarizes the most relevant moments in tonight's conversation.

]]> From Coincidences to Cosmology - Juan Joseph Guzman, Irene Roman 02:13:44 On this episode of the Beyond the Physics Podcast, Irene and I are joined by our friend Juan, Co-host of the Eigenbros podcast. Juan is also a graduate student in physics who currently does research in condensed matter experiment. We talk with Juan about his upbringing in section 8 housing in Texas, and how he feels that has affected his trajectory. We also explore the notion that extremely unlikely coincidences may indicate an interconnectedness of the universe that has yet to be understood. Next we talk about how quantum mechanics can be inappropriately portrayed in the media, as well as our personal takes on the state of quantum mechanics. Finally, I talk a bit about the possible ends of the universe, and the state of dark matter as I am currently aware of.

You can find Terence and his co-host Juan at Eigenbros on Youtube. There you can even find podcasts where Joseph appears as a guest.

For those curious, there is a program called the "clergy project" which directly relates to our hypothetical example of a priest forsaking their religion http://clergyproject.org/

]]> "The system I was looking for my whole life" - Terence Joseph Guzman, Irene Roman 01:41:20 On this episode of the "Beyond the Physics" podcast, Irene and I are joined by our good friend Terence. Terence was a graduate student in physics, having recently left the program for other ventures. As such, I seek to pick apart his unique perspective on the field. We talk about how Terence got into physics, and how that eventually lead him astray from religion. Naturally then, we deliberate on religion and spirituality, and whether these concepts have a place within physics. One of the main talking points as you will see, is to be mindful of thinking critically, specifically towards the beliefs you hold most dear. Have you honestly attempted to pick apart your beliefs? Here Terence strongly advocates for deconstructing yourself, to build the strongest foundation possible, and avoid being taken advantage of by people who would exploit non-questioning acceptance. We also talk about drugs, and their potential usefulness. Lastly, we briefly discuss how we can get more people thinking critically.

]]> Welcome to the Beyond the Physics Podcast! Joseph Guzman, Irene Roman 00:17:05 This is the introduction to the Beyond the Physics Podcast. Here you can expect to learn about who I am, my expertise, as well as that of my co-host, Irene Roman, and the goals/motivations of the podcast. We have a rather specific goal in mind, and perhaps a niche target audience. If you are interested in physics, or are currently in physics, and interested in exploring and deconstructing the people behind the science, then this is the podcast for you. We hope to cultivate a new norm in the field, one of fostering a welcoming and supportive culture, to give scientists a deeper sense of community and update the antiquated notions of who can be a physicist. Come along with us, as we hope to unveil the true face of physics through thought provoking conversation. This is the introduction to the Beyond the Physics Podcast.
