Dr Emma Osborne is an astrophysicist and multi-award winning science communicator, who loves to communicate complex physics topics in a way which makes them accessible to everyone. Emma received her PhD in theoretical astrophysics, from the University of Southampton in 2020 and is currently an Associate Lecturer at the University of York. Emma likes to engage the uninitiated, by putting science in places you wouldn't usually expect to find it. In her live talks, Emma breaks down the conventional lecture style of delivering a talk followed by questions, by inviting the audience to ask questions from the very beginning. Encouraging audience participation in this way, enables the audience to guide the content of the talk, making each performance a unique experience. This novel approach to science communication is becoming Emma's signature style. On the 14 September 2015, a new signal from the universe was detected. One of the last predictions of Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, gravitational waves had finally been observed. Travelling through the universe at the speed of light, stretching and squeezing both time and space, interacting with everything that crosses their path, gravitational waves illuminate parts of the universe that are impossible to see with light. The era of gravitational wave astronomy has begun. In this talk, Emma Osborne will take you on a gravitational wave journey from creation to detection, and the remarkable discoveries that are beginning to reveal the hidden universe.
