Interview with Stephen Fuselier

In this podcast, we'll continue our series with the IBEX mission by talking to Stephen Fuselier at Lockheed Martin. IBEX maps the faint magnetic fields out in space by capturing images of neutral atoms that result from particle collisions along those magnetic fields. At a recent American Geophysical Union meeting, Fuselier told us how science can only be done well when researchers work together.
