gravitational waves

The Cleveland Museum of Natural History has lined up Gabriela González and Hank Green to headline its fall speaker series. González, a physicist known for her work on gravitational wave detection, and science communicator Green will lead discussions aimed at making frontier research accessible to the public.

Pakistani-American physicist Nergis Mavalvala, known for her work on gravitational wave detection, spoke in Karachi about the importance of scientific curiosity. She encouraged young people in Pakistan to pursue fundamental research, arguing that questions driven purely by curiosity can lead to major discoveries. Her visit has drawn attention as an example of a prominent scientist with roots in Pakistan championing science education there.
