1.5.2 Dr. Jo-Anne Brown - Envisioning a new model for the Galactic magnetic field
Description
Dr. Jo-Anne Brown is a Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Calgary. Dr. Brown's radio astronomy research focuses on measuring the Galactic magnetic field. Over the years, she has supervised numerous graduate students, including Dr. Anna Ordog, who was featured in episode 1.0.1 of The PAM Talks podcast. In this episode, Dr. Brown joins Jia Yi Ren, an undergraduate student in astrophysics, to discuss shifting career paths and exploring new ideas about the 3D configuration of the magnetic field in our Milky Way Galaxy.
The PAM Talks team is working hard on preparing a fantastic line-up of Season 2 interviews. While you wait, you can listen to these "Season 1.5" epsiodes, which will be audio versions of our original PAM Talks youtube series.
