Dark matter shapes the universe on a grand scale – guiding the formation of stars, influencing galaxies, and playing a vital role in the cosmic structures we observe today. Join the UO Alumni Association for our springtime Quackademics lecture with associate professor of physics Tien-Tien Yu, as she unlocks the mysteries of the universe through the lens of particles.

In addition to her physics research, Professor Yu will share stories of her creative collaborations on campus, including a partnership with the UO’s Comics and Cartoon Studies Program through the Science and Comics Initiative.

As always, participants in our virtual lectures will have the opportunity to submit questions at the time of registration. Take advantage of this chance to have your most pressing questions answered by the UO’s leading dark matter expert.
