Episode description
On Tech & Science Daily, we're carrying on our week of special episodes to mark International Women’s Day. Today we hear from Nobel Prize winner, Andrea Ghez, professor of Physics and Astronomy at UCLA.
Andrea is only the fourth woman to ever win the Nobel Prize in physics which she received for her part in providing evidence of a supermassive black hole, with the mass of four million suns, at the centre of our galaxy. Impressive, right?
She explains the years and efforts that have gone into her research and why she still loves what she does over 25 years later.
