Dark Matter in the Disordered Cosmos

Today, we know that everything visible in the universe is made from a set of basic building blocks known as elementary particles. We call this picture the standard model of particle physics, and we understand it in great mathematical detail. Comprehending the standard model is an enormous achievement - but we are now certain that it describes very little of what’s out there. In this talk, Prof. Prescod-Weinstein will discuss the effort to understand dark matter and how this work can help motivate us to build a better world. She will also speak about gender- and race-related issues in science.

Speaker: Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, University of New Hampshire
