Equity as Infrastructure: Recalibrating the foundations of scientific excellence

Scientifc excellence is typically assessed through outputs - publications, grands, citations. But excellence is produced by systems: by research culture, team dynamics, design choices and institutional incentives. This talk reframes equity not as an add-on, but as core infrastructure that shapes rigour, validity, innovation and impact. Moving beyond performative EDI requires recalibrating the foundational conditions that determine scientific performance.

Black holes are massive objects from which even light cannot escape -- so how can we "see" them? In this month's KPL astronomy talk, Lucy Pothier-Bogoslowski  will discuss several observational techniques and properties of black holes that allow us to observe them and their impact on their environments from small to large scales.
