Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, assistant professor of 物理 and astronomy, received a 2023年科特雷尔澳门葡京网赌游戏奖 来自科学进步研究公司. It’s the first time a 主要研究 faculty member has received this prestigious award. Prescod-Weinstein, 谁也是女性和性别研究的核心教员, 25位优秀的化学教师澳门葡京网赌游戏, 物理, 天文学获得了100美元的奖金,为拟议的研究和科学教育提供资金. Cottrell Scholars are chosen through a rigorous peer-review process of applications from a wide variety of public and private research universities and primarily undergraduate institutions in the United States and Canada.
Prescod-Weinstein’s award will support a research and education project called “搜索ing for a Vibrant Dark Sector,” which seeks to understand dark matter by synergizing theoretical work and astrophysical observations. “It’s easy to think that the incredible universe that we see when we look through a telescope or a microscope is everything that’s out there. But it turns out that most of the matter in the universe is apparently invisible,” she says. “我们在天文观测中看到了它的影响, 所以我们知道它在那里, 但到目前为止，我们还没有在实验室里检测到它.”
除了, Prescod-Weinstein will develop and teach a new advanced undergraduate and graduate-level course, 社会背景下的物理学. The course aims to equip students with a foundation in the history of 物理 through an interdisciplinary lens, allowing them to develop proficiency at identifying and addressing anti-empirical practices and norms within 物理 classrooms or research environments.
