| Abstract: Join us for a night of intrigue and science as we discuss all things astronomy. Grab a drink, sit back, make a friend, and enjoy our featured guest speaker of the evening, Cara Giovanetti!
Cara Giovanetti studies dark matter as a Ph.D. candidate at New York University. Cara focuses on dark matter signals that come from the early universe, using computational tools and existing data to learn more about this mysterious type of matter. Cara also participates in a variety of science outreach, and has appeared on NSF Discovery Files and The Academic Minute podcasts.
Cara will give us all an introduction to one of the most exciting and pressing open questions in physics today: what is dark matter? We’ll hear about some of the bizarre astrophysical phenomena that point towards the existence of dark matter, and get some insight into why physicists are so interested in this enigmatic particle.
