*Welcome to the podcast of Harold C. Connolly Jr., an explorer of space, time, and the human experience. In this podcast we explore how the sciences of Cosmochemisgtry and Geology play critical roles in defining our understanding of the earliest time of the Solar System formation. Hosted by Professor Harold C. Connolly Jr., a Cosmochemist and Geologist, Professor Connolly interviews friends and colleagues about their life experiences as it relates to the science of Solar System formation plus that of performing science as a human through such topics as space exploration, engineering, art and science, family life and other related topics. Please join Professor Connolly for brief flybys of those folks that have touched his life and the science behind uncovering some of the mysteries of how the Solar System formed.
