How are galaxies structured and how do they evolve? In this episode, we speak to computational astrophysicist and science communicator Dr. Sarah Pearson. We explore an average day for an astrophysicist and discuss recent research into stellar streams and galactic bars. Then, we reflect on Pearson’s experience as a woman in a traditionally male dominated field, and consider how scientists relay scientific knowledge to non-scientific audiences.
