The Catholic Scientist

The Podcast of the Society of Catholic Scientists

The Catholic Scientist, the SCS podcast, was launched in June of 2025 and is available on all major podcast hosting platforms. The show explores important questions concerning the relationship between science and the Catholic faith. These include such topics as evolution, cosmology, neuroscience, quantum physics, and free will. The show also highlights the work of leading Catholic scientists as well as the thought of other Catholic intellectuals as they ponder the big questions and explore how to properly integrate the worlds of science and religion in their own lives.

In this latest episode of the podcast (#22), Sr. Albertine Cevallos and Fr. Thomas Davenport join the show to discuss their journey from science majors at Caltech to vocations in the Dominican order. Sister Albertine is a Dominican sister of St. Cecilia who currently teaches high school science in Maryland. She discusses her time at Caltech, where she met Christians who witnessed to their faith by their joy and goodness. This ultimately led to her reversion to the Catholic faith and a calling to the Dominican sisters of St. Cecilia. Fr. Thomas is an American Dominican priest, physicist, and philosopher, discusses his time as an undergraduate at Caltech and his time at Stanford where he earned a Ph.D. in theoretical particle physics and was simultaneously drawn to a vocation with the Dominicans. Both Sr. Albertine and Fr. Thomas discuss the many ways they now combine science and faith in their vocations.
