In this episode of the podcast 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. Davenport, O.P., an American Dominican, 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. Davenport discuss the many ways they now combine science and faith in their vocations.
