Science Meets Cinema


The cast of “Breaking Bad.” Argonne scientist Marius Stan joins us to talk about his day job and how, almost by accident, he came to have a recurring part in the hit TV series "Breaking Bad."

Now known to fans the world over as Bogdan Wolynetz, the carwash owner in the Emmy Award-winning series, Stan will be giving a talk at Argonne National Laboratory on Thursday, July 17 about the connections he sees between science and art.
