Episode Synopsis "The researchers ready for the James Webb Space Telescope - Part II: Jesse Bregman"

In this two-part series we meet two researchers who will soon be working with data from the recently launched James Webb Space Telescope. In Part II, I speak with Jesse Bregman, an astrophysicist who has spent his 50 year career at NASA Ames, and been part of some pretty amazing leaps in infrared astronomy. The conversation ranges from the backyard telescope he and his brother built, to how astrochemistry research could lead us to an understanding of the origins of life on Earth. You can learn more about Jesse's work by going to researchgate.net/profile/bregman-jesse.
