Skeptical Astrology: Season 2, Episode 8

On this episode of the Star Love Podcast, we welcome author and data scientist (although he’s had to make peace with that label) Alex Boxer. I found Alex after searching through the Yale (our shared alma mater) alumni network for anybody who might be doing anything related to astrology. Alex was the one who came up, and I couldn’t have found anybody better! Sharing a mutual love of the humanities, astrology, and science, we discuss Alex’s work that traverses the history of astrology, the similarities between modern and ancient approaches to data science, his stunning online interactive astrolabe, and dueling Roman poets Lucretius and Manilius.
