Welcome to our newly revamped segment for 2020 called the People of Science where we breakdown the common misconception of what someone in science is like. Let's be honest, when I say that someone is a person of science, or a scientist what do you think of? Probably someone in a lab coat, maybe holding a beaker of some neon colored liquid. Maybe safety glasses on, if you're lucky?
On this week's episode - we're talking about Astronomer and Astrophysicist Vera Rubin who is responsible for the discovery of Dark Matter Haloes which expands our search to understanding the mystery of 'dark matter'. Learn a bit about the life and person behind the scientist on this week's episode. Vera Rubin's voice was done by Sara.
