Dr. Dakotah Tyler

I’m Dr. Dakotah Tyler, a former Division-I college football player turned PhD astrophysicist, science communicator, author, and professor of physics and astrobiology. My research focuses on exoplanets and planetary atmospheres, but my passion is making science exciting, accessible, and deeply human.

On this channel, we explore astronomy, astrophysics, physics, planetary science, the search for life beyond Earth, and the biggest mysteries of the universe through deep dives, storytelling, interviews, and curiosity-driven conversations.

I’m the host of The Dr. Starkid Podcast, my long-form show exploring space, science, physics, and our connection to the universe.

I’m also co-host of the Curiosity Theory Podcast, where we explore science, philosophy, technology, culture, and curiosity-driven ideas more broadly.

Both shows are available on all major audio platforms as well.
