As humans, we have countless questions about the universe, but it's not always clear HOW we can answer those questions. Physicist and mathematician PhD student Grace Chesmore talks about her work developing the instrumentation of telescopes that can detect the first light of the universe (!!!) and how this technology intersects with other important science policy topics, like the use of 5G. For all of those scientists who never thought they could do math, this episode goes out to you!
