Stephon Alexander is a first class jazz musician as well as a first rate physicist and a professor at Brown University. As the New President of the National Society of Black Physicists, Eric sits down with Stephon over a good deal of wine to discuss particles, politics, blackness and STEM, and other matters as they look back on the last decade of their friendship and their sprawling discussions across music, politics, mathematics, physics and beyond.   Thank You to Our Sponsors: Athletic Greens: atlethicgreens.com/PORTAL Boll and Branch: bollandbranch.com promo code PORTAL Skillshare: skillshare.com/PORTAL Four Sigmatic: foursigmatic.com/PORTAL
