From Atoms to Galaxies: The Detection of Gravitational Waves

Join Dr Graeme Eddolls, a postdoctoral researcher at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, to learn all about how a collaboration of 1200+ international scientists built scientific instruments to detect gravitational waves. No prior knowledge of physics is required for this event and Dr. Eddolls will spend time during and after his presentation answering any and all questions from the audience!
