Description

This week's guest, Rowina Nathan, joins Kovi and Benjamin to talk about pulsar timing, the gravitational wave background, and what it means to be the Pink Astrophysicist! While there are many pulsars to work with, she only works with 'the best ones' - some of them, well, they have quirky personalities that make them difficult to work with. What led Rowina to study gravitational waves? Why does she find pulsar timing more elegant than blackhole collision nonsense? What's her favorite flavor of nuclear pasta? Tune in!
