Tech Intersect #21: Chanda Prescod-Weinstein-An unapologetically dope conversation about astrophysics, identity and feminism

Kudos, Questions, Comments? Send it here.In this episode, I welcome Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy and Core Faculty Member in Women’s Studies at the University of New Hampshire. She is also a columnist for New Scientist. Her work exists at the intersection of particle physics and astrophysics. She is primarily a theoretical researcher, but has deep knowledge of, and connection to, observational astronomy. Essence Magazine recognized her as one of 15 Black Women Who Are Paving the Way in STEM and Breaking Barriers. Her work has been featured in several venues, including Huffington Post, Gizmodo, Nylon, and the African-American Intellectual History Society. And in 2017, she received the LGBT+ Physicists Acknowledgement of Excellence Award for Years of Dedicated Effort in Changing Physics Culture to be More Inclusive and Understanding Toward All Marginalized Peoples.
