Initially, we set out with the ambition to sit down and talk with professors and other scientists about what they do on a daily basis as well as their experiences on their scientific journey. We have talked to professors in a variety of space-related fields about their work.  We also aim to broaden the discussion by talking to grad students and other undergrads about their experiences studying science.  As our name suggests, we really want to cover a broad spectrum of topics without focusing only on pure science.  

During the initial months of lockdown, we also developed a series called Not So Sirius (no pun intended), in which we discuss broader topics amongst the four of us.  The motivation behind it is to discuss one idea in a more laid back and conversational setting.  There are many fascinating scientific ideas that are difficult to grasp without serious time investment; we hope to bring to light some of the big questions and implications of complicated ideas such as: black holes, dark matter and the origins of life.  We also discuss what it’s like to study astronomy and physics at Michigan and have included a science news segment into our Not So Sirius episodes.   Ultimately, we want to expose our audience to ideas that they may have never heard before.
