Episode 14: Dr. Paul Bloom

While contributing to one of the most ambitious physics experiments in the world, Dr. Paul Bloom, professor of physics, made sure his students at North Central gained experience working right alongside him. “You don’t really know how to do science until you try to do science,” he says. In an expansive conversation, Bloom traces his journey to studying and teaching physics. He also discusses how the long-awaited results of the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab national laboratory are a tremendous achievement of precision. And he lends insight into the value of studying science at a small liberal arts institution.
