A Look Behind the Curtain

In this episode, Madeline Shepley chats with Fr. Paul Gabor, SJ, a Jesuit exoplanet astronomer working for the Vatican Observatory. During this conversation, they chat about what it was like to grow up in communist Czechoslovakia, the importance of knowing history, what inspired him to become a priest and become a Jesuit, his journey from merely intellectual to personal faith, his typical day to day, his exoplanet work, doing science as a dialog with God, intellectual humility, and much more!

During the course of their conversation, they make many references which you can explore. Some of these references include the Footprints in the Sand poem, The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences by Eugene Wigner, the CoRoT 7b exoplanet, and part 2 of a 2016 interview he did.
