Dark Matter – Jyotirmai Singh (Stanford); Spider Love – Trinity Walls (UC Berkeley)
Wonderfest Science Envoys are early-career researchers with special communication skills and aspirations. This two-part "Ask a Science Envoy" Zoom event, co-presented with The Berkeley Public Library, took place on March 15, 2023, and features the following two presentations:
• Stanford physicist Jyotirmai "Joe" Singh on "Exploring the Dark Side of the Universe" — Deeply mysterious dark matter constitutes a staggering 85% of the material universe. What is the evidence for dark matter's ubiquitous existence, yet why has it been so difficult to detect in the laboratory? Cutting-edge theories and experiments within modern physics do give us hope that we can understand dark matter, unlocking key mysteries of the cosmos.
• UC Berkeley arachnologist Trinity Walls on "Creepy or Captivating: A Spider Scientist's Perspective" — How have recent discoveries about spiders changed beliefs that have been passed down for generations? Can we see that the study of spiders is beneficial to society? One person's life-long journey — from curious child to rigorous researcher — reveals spider science to be an avenue of creative self-expression that offers rich insights into nature.
