Studying physics to explore the cosmos: Katie Mack at IFWIS 2020
For International Women's Day 2020, Perimeter Institute hosted its annual Inspiring Future Women in Science event, allowing nearly 200 high school students to attend talks and a “speed mentoring” session by women in diverse STEM careers.
In her talk, astrophysicist Katie Mack discusses dark matter, black holes, how she started thinking about astrophysics, her experience as a high school student working the night shift at the Super-Kamiokande neutrino detector in Japan, the hardest parts of her career path, and much more.
