Visualizing Science: From Black Holes to the Future with Peter Galison, Director of the Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments

Welcome to HMSC Connects! where Jennifer Berglund goes behind the scenes of four Harvard museums to explore the connections between us, our big, beautiful world, and even what lies beyond. This week Jennifer Berglund is speaking with Peter Galison, Director of the Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments and Pellegrino University Professor of the History of Science and of Physics at Harvard. He is also co-founder of the Black Hole Initiative which, with the internationally-based Event Horizon Telescope project, successfully captured an image of a black hole in 2019. The discovery also inspired Galison’s recent film The Edge of All We Know.
