The Queer Universe: A quantum explanation | Dr. Jessica Esquivel | TEDxWrigleyville

Dr. Jessica Esquivel, a particle physicist and recognized advocate for creating just and equitable spaces in physics who was recently honored with a 3D printed statute in her honor by the Smithsonian, utilizes her expertise on the intricacies of the quantum realm to explain that the universe at its smallest scales is non-binary and queer. Dr. Jessica Esquivel is an Associate Scientist at Fermilab where she works on the Muon g-2 Experiment which recently announced its exciting Run 1 results, increasing the experiment/theory tension from 3.7σ to 4.2σ. She is one of ~100 Black women with a Ph.D. in physics in the country, the 2nd black woman to graduate with a Ph.D. in physics from Syracuse University, and the 3rd Black woman to hold an Associate Scientist position at Fermilab. Her graduate research focused on studying ghostly particles called neutrinos interacting in the MicroBooNE Experiment using innovative machine learning techniques like those used in facial recognition software. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
