Matter Over Mind

Stephen Mather
Fortnightly podcast. Next episode on Saturday.

Aimed at enthusiastic, but sometimes baffled, listeners to science podcasts, Matter Over Mind (we like to call it MOM) is the essential guide to the secrets of the Universe, as revealed through physics and psychology. So if you've been listening to a 'science communicator' talking about the AdS CFT Correspondence, but it still sounds like a News Agency to you, or you think the Legrangian is a character from The Matrix, but you really want to understand it, MOM's the word. Confusion is not limited to physics though, so if you're conscious that you don't know about the unconscious, or you don't know what to think about claims about archetypes and essentialism, or if you want to understand what the experts are saying about proposed links between quantum physics and consciousness, then again it's MOM you need.


Hosts are Thomas Vincent, an experimental physicist at the University of Oxford with a Masters degree in Theoretical physics, and currently working towards a PhD in Atomic and laser physics and Stephen Mather, Business Psychologist, with a Bachelors in Psychology and a Masters in Organizational Psychology from the University of London. In each episode Stephen and Thomas take turns to ask the questions about the chatter in the science podcast and YouTube ecosystem, and try their best to make sense of it all. Oh and to spice things up a bit more, Stephen is Thomas' soon-to-be father-in-law!
