Space Spiders Save The World (really)
Aug 25, 2023•1 hr 3 min
Episode description
Two guests (with extremely complicated names) discuss the ludicrousest, amazingest paper we've ever had on the show. Yes, they're seriously asking: can we use spider's silk to make giant diffraction gratings for use in space? Amira Omer Mohamed Ahmed Salim Karlsson and Johanna D'Ciofalo Khodaverdian's bachelors' thesis is available at https://www.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?pid=diva2%3A1780558&dswid=-248
They were joined by their supervisor Christer Fuglesang, to make sure Reviewer 2 wasn't too mean to them.
