NSF Physics Frontiers Centers: The Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics
NSF-funded Physics Frontiers Centers (PFCs) are pushing the frontiers of science across the disciplines of physics. The Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics (KICP) tackles the big questions in cosmology--dark matter, dark energy and how the Universe began. The NSF Physics Division hosted a live hour-long Google Hangout with KICP. They talked with the KICP Director and other members about the exciting science going on there, including research on the cosmic microwave background and dark matter, as well as the center itself and its innovative activities in graduate and postdoctoral education and programs that advance the broader understanding of science. No matter what your area of physics or the stage of your physics education or career, tune in to hear all about KICP and just what makes it a PFC.
