Radicals & Revolutionaries Lab

Joining us this week on the Radicals & Revolutionaries Lab is Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy and core faculty member for Women’s and Gender studies at the University of New Hampshire. She is the author of a fascinating (and very accessible) book called The Disordered Cosmos: A Journey Into Dark Matter, Spacetime, and Dreams Deferred. Our host, Jillian Foster, speaks with Chanda about her work at the intersection of particle physics and astrophysics, and how she investigates the ways that intersects with social justice. This episode digs into that and more as Chanda shares her fascination with neutron stars (star skeletons) and dark matter.  Chanda’s work gives it to us straight: as humans, we are the real cosmic weirdos. Connect with Dr. Prescod-Weinstein:Instagram: @chanda.prescod.weinsteinJoin our movement for radically authentic, intentional, interconnected feminism inside Continuum Collective.
