A/Prof Dennis Stello.
A superstar of Asteroseismology!

Tom talks to Dennis Stello from halfway between Sydney Uni and UNSW about Asteroseismology, Kepler spacecraft, planet hunting, galaxies and funding. I learnt a lot and hope that you enjoy the chat.

This episode has STEMpunk's very first live demo which uses a whirly tube to model turbulence inside stars. It was very exciting!
