Conversion is Constant

In this episode, Madeline chats with Pat Schloss, a microbiologist/biology professor at Michigan who studies the microbiome. During their conversation, they discuss data science, his postdoc at University of Wisconsin-Madison, undergrad and grad school at Cornell in agricultural and biological engineering, farm life, his large family and how having families should be normalized, the opportunity to be a role model and being good steward of the power you’re given, his three year apostasy phase, an influential religious studies class and Trappist monastery visit, conversion, Opus Dei, work as prayer and sacrifice, loving those we disagree with, a typical day in his life, his spiritual game plan, sabbathing appropriately, our call to evangelize, and so much more!

During the course of their conversation, they make many references which you can explore. Some of these references include the movie Contact, the Monsignor Shea talk at SEEK24, this 1933 NYT interview of Fr. Georges Lemaitre, and episodes 2 and 5 of this podcast.
