This is one of the best interviews so far imho ☺
From the personal path to astrobiology, to the simple to understand explaining of the science.
Keep up the great work!

[@StopWhining491]

Happy that you rediscovered your path. Your honesty and openness can inspire other young scientists-to-be.

[@JillKnapp]

I loved loved loved this episode! Dr. Grant's story is so wonderful, and his enthusiasm and excitement is infectious (pardon the pun). Anyone who gets to work with him in his lab is a lucky person. I hope he'll be back as a guest again! Bravo, Doc Martin!

[@stormwalker321]

Very good show - learning alot, thank you! Dr Grant -great guest..very cool info...!

[@dunnbradstreet4106]

Gets more "sciencey" around 25:00. Great interview from the start! 😊

Dr. MARTIN This espiode was great! How about keeping the guest's name remaing some place on the screen as well as yours. (Copy TWievo). You do a fne job as an interviewer. I do request that you draw more of the science into each espiode. Thanks!

Billions of years? Wouldn’t it be closer to the equivalent of a million years of human evolution.
Human generation time =21yrs x 50,000 generations = 1,050,000

@@lucash7012, definitely goofed when speaking. You are correct. It is pretty difficult remembering all the facts as the conversation gets going!

[@lucash7012]

@@nkrumahgrant3333 no worries, sorry if I sounded overly critical, it was a great talk!

[@nkrumahgrant3333]

@@lucash7012, you didn’t at all. I appreciate you catching it. It is a responsibility we have to make sure we
get things right.
