Sabrina is a high energy theoretical physicist and advocate for women in STEM.
Throughout her adolescent years in Chicago, she was fascinated by aerospace engineering, building and flying her own single-engine plane as a teenager, before switching to physics during her undergraduate studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). She earned her PhD from Harvard University, wher her early work resulted in the discovery of the "spin memory effect," which may be used to detect or verify the net effects of gravitational waves.
She went on to a PCTS Postdoctoral Fellow at Princeton University before joining the faculty of the Perimeter Institute. As the founder and principal investigator of Perimeter's Celestial Holography Initiative, she is leading a team of amplitudes, mathematical physics, and quantum gravity researchers to jointly tackle this problem of encoding our universe as a hologram, and serves as a deputy director of the newly formed Simons Collaboration on Celestial Holography.

An interesting talk.
Clearly, Sabrina is going to help give us more valuable insight in her field very soon, as she sounds like she is getting quite close to something...
She is like a super density, firing neuron linked to other high capicity neurons, in her research.
A type of collective consciousness, perhaps...
Thanks for sharing,
Gus

Great discussion. It appears that the soft sciences and the fundamental laws of nature found in contemporary physics can coincide well. The observer being observed, as a scientific principle, can be woven into the manner humans come to resolve for conflict inwardly and outwardly. ☯️.

Can not hear the questions but very minimally
