Ripples Through Spacetime, Blackfoot Language, & Humboldt!

Do You Remember Where You Were At 6:30am PST Feb 11, 2016??

This was when the world got to watch the live announcement for arguably one of the biggest discoveries of the last 100 years:  LIGO announced the first direct detection of gravitational waves from a pair of merging black holes.  At the time, the LIGO Scientific Collaboration had over 1000 members.  Here is an opportunity to hear from one of those people and get an inside look at what it has been like to work at one of the observatories and be a part of a large physics project 17-years before and 9 year after this historic detection.  Also hear how this personal thread of physics weaves through Blackfoot culture, Humboldt, translating the spacetime of Einstein into an Indigenous language, and getting over shyness.
