Dr. Becky | A week in the life of an ASTROPHYSICIST at a conference on GALACTIC BARS @DrBecky | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 1 hour ago
Last week I flew to Granada, Spain for the Galactic Bars 2023 conference to present the research I have been doing with my recently graduated PhD student about the impact of bars on their galaxies. This is what a week in my life looked like, giving a talk, attending discussion sessions, wine tasting, networking, and going to the conference dinner! Have you got any questions about galactic bars?

👩🏽💻 I'm Dr. Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford (Christ Church). I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars.
