Science for the Public

Science for the Public: Using Gravitational Lensing to Detect Dark Matter , January 14th, 2025. Recorded live at the Beech Street Center, Belmont MA. Guest: Jacqueline McCleary, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Physics, Northeastern University. Dark matter accounts for some 27 percent of the universe but is invisible. One promising technique to reveal it is the analysis of gravitational lensing that very occasionally aligns galaxy clusters. The much-noted “cosmic question mark” image for this event is the result of a rare alignment between two distant galaxies due to gravitational lensing.

On the Job

Checking in at the Jensen Hus design build project in Sherborn and finishing up the roughs for framing, electrical and plumbing as well as going over final cabinetry layouts with Anton from Your German Kitchen. Includes the Kohler wall mount toilet, exterior faucet location, Big Ass Fan rough, Blum servo drive cabinet doors and stolen drop cloths!

On the Job

Nathan Dishington and his Jensen Hus team travel from job to job getting things done. First we meet our Romanian and Columbian, Your German Kitchen install crew over at the Sherborn barn install our fancy German cabinets. We also take a look at the land to be cleared for the new house construction project where we encounter marked trees and an English garden with a frog pond.
