Franklin Hobbs: Life as a Materials Science and Engineering teaching professor at University of Wisconsin

Tim and Steve talk with Professor Franklin Hobbs from University of Wisconsin's Materials Science and Engineering Department.  Franklin is a teaching professor with an uncanny resemblance to Tim Chambers at UM.  We talk about his career, the lab courses he developed at Wisconsin, and his really interesting course for non-materials and non-STEM majors. Here are some interesting tidbits and links related to the episode: Stuff Matters by Mark Miodownik. Fun fact, For the past two years I think my Spring class has made this the top selling Materials Science book on Amazon in January.   Stuff Matters: Exploring the Marvelous Materials That Shape our Man-Made World https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/18222843-stuff-matters The Alchemy of Us by Ainissa Ramirez https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262542265/the-alchemy-of-us/ Wisc MS&E department: https://engineering.wisc.edu/departments/materials-science-engineering/ Franklin's directory page: https://directory.engr.wisc.edu/mse/Faculty/Hobbs_Franklin/ You can find the YouTube version of the podcast here: https://youtu.be/IuDLeNtf4e4 Our YouTube channel can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/@Undercooled.Materials If you want to add a voice comment on this or any other of our podcasts, suggest a guest, or volunteer to be a guest, please visit our website: https://java.engin.umich.edu/undercooled/ This episode is sponsored by the TMS Foundation (https://www.tms.org/TMSFoundation/TMSFoundation/Default.aspx), The Electric Vehicle Center (EVC) at the University of Michigan (https://evc.engin.umich.edu/), and the University of Michigan Materials Science and Engineering department (https://mse.engin.umich.edu).
