Human Impact

Jo Dunkley is professor of physics and astrophysical sciences at Princeton, a full professor at Oxford at 35. She has won awards from the Royal Astronomical Society, the Institute of Physics, and the Royal Society for her work on the origins and evolution of the Universe.  In Our Universe , cosmologist Jo Dunkley clearly explains many of the big things we know about the universe, and how scientists came to discover them, from black holes, to distant galaxies, expanding space, and more. Complemented by simple, effective illustrations of complex astrophysical concepts and techniques, Our Universe is an engaging introduction to the nature of our cosmic home. She talks to Ed Andrew on Human Impact about working with NASA, how billion dollar science projects transfer technology into humanity and her work to increase female and racial diversity in science.
