Yale’s campus is always evolving to serve the university’s mission. Buildings go up, come down, and transform even during the pandemic. Yale soon will introduce several impressive new spaces for thinking, studying, relaxing, and finding inspiration.
Four major construction projects have wrapped up in the past year, despite a two-month pause at the pandemic’s onset, and a fifth project, a new field house at the university’s athletic complex in New Haven’s Westville neighborhood, is slated for completion in May. Other projects are now in progress.
Yale astrophysicist on unlocking the mystery of black holes and dark matter
In 2019, the first up-close image of a black hole was recorded. And yet, so much about them, their bizarre properties and the role they play in the universe remains a mystery. The distinguished Yale astrophysicist Priya Natarajan dives into black holes and dark matter in her lecture and book: Mapping The Heavens.

As any parent homeschooling a young student knows all too well, finding fun science experiments that can be conducted safely and affordably at home while also conveying important scientific concepts isn’t easy.
All too often, home experiments require the purchase of materials or supplies that families don’t have readily available. In other cases, the experiments don’t provide avenues for further reading or additional experimentation.
Well, help is on the way, thanks to Yale’s Franke Program in Science and the Humanities, with an assist from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
