Exploring Curiosity With Nobel Prize Winner Barry Barish (#374)

Remastered from our interview in May 2023 A few months ago, I had
the pleasure of interviewing the Nobel Laureate, Barry Barish, for
UCTV. Barry is an experimental physicist and a professor at UC
Riverside. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics along with
Rainer Weiss and Kip Thorne for decisive contributions to the LIGO
detector and the observation of gravitational waves.  In our
interview, Barry reflects on his life in science, being curious,
experiencing imposter syndrome, and working in the field of
physics. Tune in!  Key Takeaways:  Intro (00:00) How to
get over impostor syndrome (00:40) Exploring curiosity (06:34) The
