This is a highlight of the talk I gave at Astronomy on Tap: All-Star Krewe in New Orleans, LA, January 2024. I had so much fun preparing the slides, which turned out to be AMAZING, and talk about my science.
The content on the slides from my talk are written to be understandable by a broad audience. They are designed in the style of a graphic novel to combine my love of science and art!
Enjoy! The full talk can found on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/L1uRSfs_sjk?si=ab7xh-JkFRRouTOG
