<p>Did you know beauty plays a role in scientific discovery.  I heard Nobel Laureate <a href="https://physics.mit.edu/faculty/frank-wilczek/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Frank Wilczek</a> talking about how he uses beauty in his in his work as an astrophysicist.  I talk about what he&#8217;s discovered and what I think it means. I also talk about a weird glitch on YouTube that made <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ft-pWVaRnQ8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">this video</a> inexplicably popular and one of my favorite things on Twitter.</p>
