Chanda Prescod-Weinstein - Journey to the Edge of Space-Time

Every day we move through space, but what is it? And how is space-time different from our every day-concept of space? Exploring concepts from the vacuum to quantum radiation from black holes, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein will take us on a journey to the edge of space-time, discussing along the way what it means for humanity to attempt to answer these questions. Regarded as one of the leading physicists of her generation, she is also one of fewer than one hundred Black American women to earn a doctorate from a department of physics. Her viewpoint has been praised as vibrant and buoyantly nontraditional, taking a bold approach to science and society.
Prescod-Weinstein is an associate professor at the University of New Hampshire. Her research in theoretical physics focuses on cosmology, neutron stars, and dark matter. She also does research in Black feminist science, technology, and society studies. Nature recognized her as one of 10 people who shaped science in 2020, and Essence has recognized her as one of “15 Black Women Who Are Paving the Way in STEM and Breaking Barriers.”
