👩🏽💻 I'm Dr. Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford (Christ Church). I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars.

Trying to explain BAOs to a lay audience in a short video is quite a heroic feat! Well done.

Becky Announcing Observations!
-
I love your videos because you don't sugar coat the data or talk down to your audience . I might not understand the details but the overall point is very clear and very interesting thanks for being a genuine person . keep it up
-
I like the advertisement annotation and the progress bar.
-
Last time I was this early the expansion of the universe was progressing at a different rate
-
Hi Becky, that was by far absolutely the best explanation of BAO that I’ve ever heard on YouTube. Thank you so much. Finally, I understood.
-
Love your stuff, Dr Becky! Edit: I can always rely on these videos to clearly breakdown headlines etc into reasonable bits.
-
You are totally awesome at this.
-
its neat to get a description of something we haven't already heard a million times, like "black holes are places where nothing can escape - not even light!"
-
Bloopers Becky has so much charm and we adore her! <3 ty for the update Dr Becky!
-
Publish, publish, publish! Sounds groovy. TRUST !!
