Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein Wants You to Know Science Is For Everyone
Prescod-Weinstein, a theoretical cosmologist, talks to Shondaland about her new book, “The Disordered Cosmos: A Journey Into Dark Matter, Spacetime, and Dreams Deferred”
Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein’s debut popular science book, Jewish prayer, which reminds us that Black people aren’t dark matter but rather luminous matter, and stresses that spacetime isn’t straight or binary.
A professor of physics and astronomy at the University of New Hampshire, and a core faculty member in Women’s and Gender studies, Prescod-Weinstein has written an exquisite book that seamlessly connects seemingly disparate topics: physics, Black feminist thought, anti-colonial theory.

March Meeting 2021 Hits the Web
By Leah Poffenberger
In lieu of the typical bustling March Meeting, packing thousands of physicists from around the world into a huge convention center, APS is taking the 2021 March Meeting online. From March 15 to 19, the same exciting, high quality physics content that attendees have come to expect will make its way into offices, living rooms, or anywhere with a computer, with new events designed for the online meeting experience.
The 2021 March Meeting will feature speakers and attendees representing 30 APS units and committees, with more than 10,800 abstracts submitted. Scientific sessions taking place from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm (CT) each day will mirror the usual March Meeting schedule, but the online format will introduce added flexibility to watch some sessions live and others on-demand.
