Join us for our first in-person conversation with Dr. Brian
Keating, a distinguished UCSD cosmologist, as we navigate the
intricate landscape of scientific epistemology and reward
circuits. Our discussion unpacks the complexities of scientific
truth, exploring its intersections with faith and unveiling the
mysteries of cosmic origins. With Dr. Keating we tap into
profound insights on the scientific method, reflects on paradigm
shifts, and discuss the spiritual dimensions within scientific
theories. This exploration challenges beliefs and encourages you
to navigate the squishy truths that inscribe our scientific
understanding of the universe. Subscribe to Brian Keating’s INTO
