Lester and Dr. Krishna dive into:• Beetlejuice &amp; “Bracelet” – why a red super-giant may soon swallow its tiny partner• Atomic Harlem Shake – 0.15 Å resolution images of thermal jiggles in 2-D materials• Too Fast, Too Furious – IceCube’s constraints on proton fractions in 10²⁰ eV cosmic rays• Interstellar Google Maps – New Horizons proves star-pattern navigation works• Mind-Body Woo-Woo – VR coughs that literally raise your white-blood-cell count

Oldest Molecule, Programmable Proteins, Europa Radar & Light’s Double Life (EP. 3)

From First Principles is a fast, funny, and rigorous breakdown of the biggest science stories of the week, hosted by Lester Nare and physicist Krishna Choudhary, PhD. We go past headlines into the actual mechanics: what happened, why it matters, and what everyone’s missing.

Expect physics, space, AI, energy, biotech, and the occasional “wait… is that real?” story. If you’re curious, skeptical, and you like learning in public — you’re in the right place.
