We are most fortunate to have Donna Young, the astrophysicist from the NASA Astrophysicist’s Division of the Universe Learning Program, return to give a talk in the library on October 24th at 1pm. Her talk is called Cosmic Cobwebs: A Story of Spiders and Stars. It will not disappoint, if it is anything like her first presentation. The main focus will be the history of using spider silk for the telescopes used to study space.
