Dr. Alan Marscher, Boston University Super-Massive Black Holes at the Centers of Galaxies 
The recent Event Horizon Telescope image of the black hole in the galaxy M87 confirmed what astronomers had suspected: super-massive black holes reside in the centers of all large galaxies. The speaker will discuss how these extreme objects, which trap any matter or light that gets too close, actually create the most luminous phenomena in the universe. This apparent contradiction involves ultra-hot gas that has not yet been swallowed by the black hole monster, as well as near -light-speed jets of high-energy particles and strong magnetic fields.

Dr. Avital Rodal, Brandeis University Finding your way inside of a nerve cell 
Avital Rodal grew up in Ottawa, Canada. She attended MIT for her undergraduate studies in Biology and Chemical Engineering, and then University of California Berkeley for her doctoral studies in Molecular and Cell Biology. She then did her postdoctoral work back at MIT, in the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory. She is currently an associate professor at Brandeis University, where she studies intracellular transport in neurons. She has been the recipient of NIH Pathway to Independence and NIH Director's New Innovator awards, a Pew scholar award, and recently the NINDS Landis Award for mentorship. Outside of the lab, she enjoys gardening, hanging out with her dogs and teenaged kids, and getting running tips from her husband.
