Oh hey, it's the stranger's dog who just licked your mouth, Allie Ward, and let's turn our gaze and ears to the sky, currently at the moment 159 million miles away to the planet of Venus. Taking us on that journey is one of the most charming and informatively enthusiastic ologists in planetary history, a global geologist who studies both Earth and the other orbs in our solar system with a focus on what Venus can tell us about our own home. And they graduated from Carleton College, got a master's from the University of Montana and a PhD from UCLA before becoming a professor at Southern Methodist University and then heading to the University of Minnesota, Duluth, as a McKnight Presidential Endowed Professor of Earth and Planetary Scientists. They have worked for the U.S.
Geological Survey and done field work from Antarctica to the Arctic Yukon territory. And just a little quick warning, you will fall in love with them and rocks and Venus. But before we cast that spell, let's thank the folks who sent in great questions for them via patreon.com slash ologies where you two can support the show for as little as a dollar a month and send your burning 900 degree questions. Thank you also to everyone out there in Olegies Merch from Ologiesmerch.com.
And of course, for zero dollars a month, you can support the show just by reviewing it. And I read all the reviews. I prove it with a recent one like this one from listener and nurse, Sarah 916, who wrote that the show takes listeners on a magic school bus-like auditory journey spanning from the smallest molecules to the largest existential topics. And Sarah 916, thank you for that.
