From black holes to the Nobel Prize - Jim meets.. Andrea Ghez

Quantum physicist, best selling author and broadcaster Jim Al-Khalili talks with UCLA astrophysicist and Nobel Prize winner Andrea Ghez about her life and work.

In 2020 she shared the Nobel Prize for Physics (only the forth woman to do so) for her part in the discovery of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy. T﻿he hugely successful Jim Meets Series is hosted by Jim Al-Khalili, Professor of Physics and presenter of BBC Radio 4&#x27;s &#x27;The Life Scientific&#x27;. The series has featured a variety of well-loved public figures including Sir David Attenborough and Brian Cox. T﻿his event will be taking place at the California NanoSystems Institute on the UCLA campus.
