Ep. 70: How To Win a Nobel Prize

Welcome to Astronomy Cast, the most popular astronomy-related podcast. Just look at what listeners have to say about it:

Astronomy Cast is out of this world! It's hard to believe that it's free! This is an absolute must for any amateur astronomer or anyone interested in astronomy or cosmology. The hosts, Pamela and Fraser, are fun to listen to, extremely knowledgeable, and are able to explain difficult subject matter with great analogies. Bravo!

"Very interesting and almost "easy" for amateurs to listen and understand"

Just a couple of shows ago, we showed you how to get a career in astronomy. Now that you've got your career in astronomy, obviously the next goal is to win a Nobel prize. We're here at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Austin, which is just one tiny step that a person has to take before you get that Nobel prize. Before you get that call in the middle of the night from Sweden, you're going to need to come with an idea, do some experiments, write a paper, get published and a bunch of other stuff. This week, we'll tell you all about it.

Ep. 67: Building a Career in Astronomy

With all the enthusiasm that's being generated with astronomy, it's had a bit of a strange side-effect. We've been causing some of our listeners to have midlife crises about their careers. We've had other people who just want advice – they're moving into college for the first time and they want to direct the courses they're going to be taking into astronomy. Some other people already have skills that are very useful and have wondered how they can help up or even change their career to be working in the field. We thought we'd try and answer everyone's questions all at once and just run through the major career paths you can take that relate to astronomy and space, and the kinds of things you'll need to do to actually make yourself a good candidate for that field.
