This Thursday, Oct 22, at 3PM Eastern, the Society of Physics Students will host an online Colloquium via zoom: “Radios for Jupiter: Learning to Teach while Building a Radio Telescope.” Presenting will be Dr. Nicole Gugliucci, Assistant Professor of Physics at St. Anselm College in New Hampshire, and St. Anselm undergraduates Ana Morrison and Nate Letteri.
The event is free and open to all. They will discuss the Radio JOVE Project, a citizen science program where students build their own instrumentation and contribute to radio astronomy observations.
Dr. Gugliucci is also the SPS Zone Councilor for Zone 1. She received her PhD from the University of Virginia in 2012, and has published on radio astronomy and science education. She is also a popular science communicator, presenting on New Hampshire Public Radio and at multiple science fiction conventions.
