Welcome to CaNERDian — I'm David Hewlett. You may know me as Dr. Rodney McKay from Stargate Atlantis: I play geniuses on TV but in really real life I'm a high-school dropout but a contagiously curious, lifelong learning nerd, and this channel is where I share it all! I'm chatting science, technology, engineering, arts and math with the people actually doing the brilliant work.

New here? Start with the shows:

🎙️ I'm With (Stargate) Genius
I'm using my Stargate credentials to interview real Geniuses...scientists, engineers, and researchers and I get to chat with them about what they actually do, from ESA mission engineers to space lawyers, to quantum physicists, bacterial phage to gene therapy researchers.

🎭 Actually Brilliant Conversations with actors, directors, and creatives about what inspires them films them with awe and a bit about their adventures in film and TV...and learn some handy life tips along the way!

Anthony and I had a wonderful chat when we met at CERN earlier this year and I am so excited to have him on I'm with (Stargate) genius now! He was at the controls when the first proton beam circled the Large Hadron Collider and the discovery of the Higgs boson and now he's writing the code to keep all those particles in motion and crashing into each other as they should...it's a wonderful joyful chat about physics, computer programming and even science fiction!
