Please join us for the Astronomy Public Talk series, where we host short, accessible talks on a wide range of astronomy and physics-related topics—free and open to the public! This event will feature a presentation by UI Physics and Astronomy graduate student John Silva, who will introduce the concept of lookback time—the idea that when we observe distant objects in the universe, we are seeing them as they appeared in the past, because their light has taken millions or even billions of years to...

ORCiD (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a persistent digital identifier to resolve the researcher's name ambiguity problem. Researchers are required to provide their ORCiD iD when applying for a grant or submitting an article for publication. Learn more about creating an ORCiD iD at www.iam.uiowa.edu/planter, linking your ORCiD iD to the University of Iowa, and adding your publication records from data sources (Scopus, CrossRef, etc.) to your ORCiD. Led by Carol Hollier, sciences reference...
