As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise. \n\nOn this episode, we have a special guest Michael Jaramillo. We chat about how he cultivated his passion for observational astronomy. The disconnect between pursuing a passion for astronomy and how school prepares you. We go into detail about difficult experiences in graduate school. Having a very difficult research advisor to work with. Experiencing prejudice with this advisor because Michael was a bridge student. Securing a research group in astronomy, then being forced into studying elsewhere, landing in condensed matter experiment. Michael goes into detail surrounding a perceived near death experience with an incredibly strong magnet. Finally we arrive at the present, where Michael discusses unpacking the damage done in graduate school. Michael has begun exploring photography and skateboarding, which we are happy to share in the links below! Joe also goes into some more detail surrounding a recent explosive conflict with his advisor.\n\nWe hope you enjoy the show!"}
