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: I'm not saying much about the *other* exploit, because that would provide clues about it.
gollark: There are issues I know of in GPS (pretty obvious, hard to exploit, hard to patch), rednet repeaters (not useful to exploit, easy to patch, not too obvious), rednet itself (obvious, easily exploitable, but most people making serious programs are already aware), potatOS (very non-obvious, not a huge issue as accidental RCE still isn't possible, easy to exploit if you know how).
gollark: We should make CVEs for useless CC bugs!
gollark: I was just roughly talking about some I know of.
