Discovery Science | Forrest Mims: My Adventures As an Amateur Scientist (Part 2 of 2) @DiscoveryScienceChannel | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
Can a successful scientist be self-taught? On this episode of ID The Future, host @Andrew_McDiarmid concludes his conversation with Forrest M. Mims about his new memoir Maverick Scientist: My Adventures as an Amateur Scientist. Without a college science degree, Mims taught himself the fundamentals of engineering and atmospheric science that fueled an impressive career in science and technology.
In Part 2, Mims talks about how he got connected to the intelligent design community after a very public dust-up with America’s oldest magazine, Scientific American. Instead of derailing his career, the Scientific American episode actually opened the door to opportunities in atmospheric science. Mims talks about the time he proved NASA wrong on their measurements and why he still consults for NASA today. He shares details of his research conducted at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii. He explains why his skepticism on Darwinian evolution is a non-issue for practically every scientist he works with. And he’s got some sage advice for young people interested in becoming amateur scientists. Hint: it involves putting your phone away and doing something!
This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation.
In Part 1, Mims shared about his coming of age in the silicon era, including early exploits as a young inventor and experiences as a science writer.
