  • Franklin Hobbs: Life as a Materials Science and Engineering teaching professor at University of Wisconsin
    Oct 11 2026

    Tim and Steve talk with Professor Franklin Hobbs from University of Wisconsin's Materials Science and Engineering Department. Franklin is a teaching professor with an uncanny resemblance to Tim Chambers at UM. We talk about his career, the lab courses he developed at Wisconsin, and his really interesting course for non-materials and non-STEM majors.

    Here are some interesting tidbits and links related to the episode:

    Stuff Matters by Mark Miodownik. Fun fact, For the past two years I think my Spring class has made this the top selling Materials Science book on Amazon in January.
