At the next Secret Science Club, we’re blasting off with
astrophysicist and author Priyamvada Natarajan on a mission to explore black
holes and dark matter—two of the most mysterious entities in the Universe.
In this mind-blowing talk,
coinciding with the release of her new book Mapping
the Heavens, Dr. Natarajan examines the most recent breakthroughs in cosmology—from mapping invisible dark matter to the discovery of gravitational waves, the ripples in the
fabric of spacetime predicted by Einstein.
Priyamvada Natarajan is a professor of astronomy and physics at Yale
University, specializing
in dark matter, dark energy, and black holes. A fellow of the American Physical
Society, Royal Astronomical Society, and Explorers Club, she is the author of
over 100 scientific papers and has written for The Huffington Post, Washington
Post, New York Review of Books, and
Discover Magazine. She has just published her first book, Mapping the Heavens: The Radical Scientific Ideas that Reveal the Cosmos, which brilliantly explains advances
in our understanding of the heavens from ancient times up through the most
pressing questions at the frontier of astrophysics today.
