EVSN - After Hours: Doing Big Science With Light Tools & Guest Dr. Danny Jacobs

From July 30, 2026. Hosted by: Dr. Pamela L. Gay (@CosmoQuest) Science comes from many corners, and there is a need for both 600-m radio telescopes made on a great plain (Like the RATAN-600) and 60cm radio dishes built in a living room. In this After Hours, we talk with ASU professor Dr. Danny Jacobs (https://danielcjacobs.com)about how he engages students of all kinds in space sciences through educational tools like the cardboard radio telescope (https://astrochart.github.io), and in space telescope operations with the SPARCS small sat.
