Ep 12: Thoughts of Armageddon
Synopsis
Everyone questions how life would end every once in a while, so we thought it would be an interesting idea to make a podcast about it. In this special episode, we pulled together our Physics & Engineering college group to tackle this sort of discussion. Each one of us has a specific topic of discussion and we plan to go around the room and introduce why we feel our topic will end the world, then follow up with a peer review of their position. Topics such as asteroid impacts, AI, solar flares and others will be highlighted in the episode.

Currently, Panyapit is our Quality Control Manager with the podcast and is working as a Civil Engineer back in his home country, Thailand.
Gavin Woodard; Gavin has an undergraduate degree in Physics and a Master’s degree in Data Analytics from Slippery Rock University. As of right now, Gavin is working as a Predictive Analyst in higher education. One fun fact about Gavin is that he used to Host a podcast called Chasing Chocobos and was based on the Final Fantasy franchise.
Chase Zikmund; Chase earned his physics undergrad and master's in data science at Slippery Rock University. There he was actively the head tutor for mentoring students who struggled with Physics 1, 2 & 3 concepts. Today he is a data manager and analyst at The University of Pittsburgh’s Emergency Medicine Department
Cody Brant; Cody is our Senior Editor for Woke Talk Podcast! Cody and both served as Physics tutors together at Slippery Rock University, and while I was running the 3D Printing Lab there, he was the one running the planetarium for the department and hosting venues for the University as well as the public.
