UNVEILING THE DARK SIDE OF THE UNIVERSE
with Astrophysicist Priya Natarajan, Yale

Centered on celestial cartography, Dr. Natarajan will discuss how mapping the universe has generated the radical scientific ideas that have shaped our current understanding of cosmology - maps literally track our ever-evolving cosmic view, tracing our understanding of the universe, its contents and its evolution. She will discuss how the dark side of the universe has been revealed and how dark matter, dark energy and black holes have shaped the past, present and future of our universe.

Priyamvada Natarajan is a theoretical astrophysicist at Yale. She is recognized for her seminal contributions to the study of dark matter and the formation and growth of black holes. Currently, she also serves as the Director of the Franke Program in Science and the Humanities at Yale, she is running a series titled Mapping as Knowing.
