About the Author

Chanda Prescod-Weinstein is a theoretical physicist, feminist scholar, and award-winning author whose work bridges the vast expanse of the cosmos with the intimate rhythms of human experience. As an associate professor of physics and astronomy at the University of New Hampshire, she explores quantum gravity, dark matter, and the intersections of science and social justice, challenging the traditional boundaries of knowledge production. Her writing illuminates the poetic undercurrents of particle physics, inviting readers to dance with the universe's profound mysteries. Drawing from her Jamaican and Trinidadian heritage, Prescod-Weinstein infuses her narratives with a cosmic dream boogie that celebrates Black women's contributions to science while critiquing colonial legacies in astronomy. Through her insightful prose, she reimagines the edge of space-time as a canvas for both rigorous inquiry and imaginative liberation.
