Most of us don’t work with galaxies... but we all know the pressure of making big ideas make sense.
Brian R. Kent is the Director of Science Communications at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. He joined us to talk about data, design, and how his team turns massive research projects into visuals people can actually connect with.
