Picture an Astronomer Symposium

Through March 6, 2025 William Eckhardt Research Center

In March 2025, we will host a scientific symposium including female astrophysicists from diverse institutions and backgrounds. We intend this to be an opportunity to engage in a larger discussion about the state of the field for women around the globe and will spend a portion of the symposium in “hack day” mode, looking to discuss solutions to universal and near-universal challenges to the retention of female astrophysicists. An extended goal is to codify these discussions in public white papers. This symposium alone will not fix the leaky pipeline, but we hope that crowd-sourcing best practices for increasing retention will inspire the implementation of even small, but significant changes that lead to inclusion. Simultaneously, we hope that promoting these sorts of discussions will lead to the potential for larger changes with expanded engagement.

We encourage all professional astronomers/astrophysicists to participate, not just women.

Register by January 30.

Mar 8

Arthur H. Compton Lecture Series | Neutrinos: Detectors and Discoveries

11:00 am Kersten Physics Teaching Center, Room 106

Neutrinos: Detectors and Discoveries
Thomas Wester
Robert McCormick Fellow

This series will explore neutrinos and the incredible machines built to detect them. We will discuss what makes neutrinos unique, neutrino experiments, and current unsolved questions to see how these tiny particles may lead to the next big discoveries in physics.

This event is free and for the public. Attend in person or watch the livestream!
