<\/a><\/p>\n

From a star theoretical physicist<\/a>, a journey into the world of particle physics<\/a> and the cosmos<\/a> \u2014 and a call for a more just practice of science.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In The Disordered Cosmos<\/em>, Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein shares her love for physics, from the Standard Model<\/a> of Particle Physics<\/a> and what lies beyond it, to the physics of melanin<\/a> in skin, to the latest theories of dark matter<\/a> \u2014 all with a new spin informed by history, politics, and the wisdom of Star Trek<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of the leading physicists of her generation, Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein is also one of fewer than one hundred Black American women to earn a PhD<\/a> from a department of physics. Her vision of the cosmos<\/a> is vibrant, buoyantly non-traditional, and grounded in Black feminist traditions.<\/p>\n

Prescod-Weinstein urges us to recognize how science, like most fields, is rife with racism, sexism, and other dehumanizing systems. She lays out a bold new approach to science and society that begins with the belief that we all have a fundamental right to know and love the night sky. The Disordered Cosmos<\/em> dreams into existence a world that allows everyone to experience and understand the wonders of the universe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
