Science Goes To The MoviesAre you a science nerd who also loves movies? A cinephile looking to learn something new after a visit to the theater? All of the above? Me too. In this newsletter, we’ll talk about movies through the lens of science that informs or inspires them—whether they’re about science or … not.

Every few weeks, I’ll send you an email diving into the unexpected science that comes up in a big blockbuster or hot new show. Follow along as I talk to experts who research everything from the atmospheres of exoplanets to the psychology of a cinematic soundtrack. And, most importantly, I’ll find out which movies scientists like and which they think are mid.
