Baseball season has arrived. At Short Wave, baseball brings to mind the science of physics. To explore the physics involved in baseball, including the art of hitting a home run, Frederic Bertley lends his expertise. He is the CEO and President of the Center of Science and Industry, a science museum located in Columbus, Ohio.
Bertley shares insights into how climate change impacts the game. These discussions are part of a broader conversation with host Regina G. Barber.
If you’re curious about the science in other sports, Short Wave welcomes emails at [email protected]. Your queries are invited.
