S09:25 A (first) conversation with Clifford Johnson

Professor Clifford V. Johnson’s work in science ranges from teaching and research into black holes, particle physics, string theory, and cosmology, to public outreach where he strives to put science back into the general culture. He helps artists, writers, and filmmakers incorporate science into their work, and appears on several TV and online shows.

He has been a science advisor for many TV shows and movies, including Nat Geo’s Genius (featuring Einstein), Marvel’s Agent Carter, Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity War & Endgame, and more. Johnson also recently wrote and illustrated a graphic novel featuring science called "The Dialogues: Conversations about the Nature of the Universe" (MIT Press), selected as one of Science Friday’s Best books of the year - two years in succession!
