Katie Mullaly
Cool Science Radio Co-HostScience has been a passion of Katie Mullaly’s since she was a child: from staring up at the stars, hunting for fossils, exploring the geology of Uintah Basin (where she grew up), and always just wondering WHY? Katie took this love of science (and an innate ability to communicate and teach these complex topics) and formed both her graduate and undergraduate degrees around Science Communication.
Katie is also the author and publisher of the highly-acclaimed, Land of… Children’s Books series where she shares her passion for teaching, creating greater awareness, and living a conscious life.
Katie has a BS in Science Communication and an MS in Professional Master of Science and Technology, both from the University of Utah, and is working on a “PhD” in being a better human. She will be working on her dissertation on being a conscious, caring, more connected person for the rest of her life, and looks forward to sharing that work with anyone who will read her books, and listen to Cool Science Radio.

Plasma physicist Sierra Solter talks about the effects of decaying space junk on Earth’s ionosphere. As satellites and other orbital objects decay and burn up in the atmosphere, they are leaving a layer of conductive, electrically charged particles around the planet and the dangerous effects this could have on the Earth's ionosphere, and life as we know it.Evidence-based explanations and critical thinking can help us all better understand paranormal beliefs and why we have them. Chris French, author of the new book "The Science of Weird S***," sheds light on where these beliefs come from and how we can explain these bizarre experiences.
