#23: Cosmologist, author, & father: Dr. Brian Keating on research, parenting, & writing "Losing the Nobel Prize"

Dr. Brian Keating is a cosmologist, Chancellor’s Professor of Physics at UCSD, author of "Losing the Noble Prize: A Story of Cosmology, Ambition, and the Perils of Science's Highest Honor." We took a break from San Diego Comic Con to record at UCSD, where we dove in to funding research, peer reviews, flaws in the current system of how we recognize achievement, his work as a professor, involvement with comic con, the Arthur C. Clark Foundation podcast he hosts, and how he does all of this while maintaining his marriage and relationship with their kids. Brian also taught me why nickels have ridges and pennies do not.

We also mention Ray Dalio's "Principles" which I highly recommend: https://amzn.to/2M5eY5X, as Brian mentions, it's about 500 pages too long. If you'd like the abbreviated version, here's a book that condenses the material in to a summary: https://amzn.to/31IhlCa
