Bonus 5: You Are My Sun-Line (Intelligent Speech Conference 2022)

<p>Hello! It's been a while, but I'm back with some updates and with a new bonus episode for you all :)</p> <p>I was happy to be invited back to the <a href="https://www.intelligentspeechconference.com/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Intelligent Speech podcasting conference</a>, held on &nbsp;June 25, 2022. I took part in the STEM roundtable discussion and also presented a talk entitled "You Are My Sun-Line: Solar Spectroscopy and an Early Spectroscope". I discuss the history of solar spectroscopy, from rainbows to Newton to intergalactic stellar analysis, as well as two 19th century spectroscopes held by the <a href="https://www.whipplemuseum.cam.ac.uk/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Whipple Museum of the History of Science</a> at the University of Cambridge.</p> <p><em>How do we know what stars are made of? What have lines got to do with it? This talk will answer these questions and more, with the help of a 19th century spectroscope (or two!).</em></p> <p>You can watch the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAu80AixUSU&amp;t=287s" target="_blank">video recording</a> on the Intelligent Speech Conference YouTube channel.</p>
