Astro Tuesday: Hayden Lee (KICP) and Rich Kron (UChicago)

12:00–1:00 pm

Hayden Lee “A timeless approach to cosmological correlators”

Rich Kron "The Untold History of Women at Yerkes Observatory"

The exhibit space in Regenstein Library is showing "The Untold History of Women at Yerkes Observatory" (www.lib.uchicago.edu/collex/exhibits) through December 15. The exhibit came together with a multi-disciplinary group, including Astronomy & Astrophysics, historians, librarians, archivists, and digital studies specialists. Students have been closely involved, and some have contributed directly to the contents of the exhibit. I will talk about how and why the exhibit was developed, and give background for some of the artifacts. I will describe what the exhibit team learned and some of the things that surprised us.
