Join us as Dr. Justin Robinson discusses the cosmic distance ladder.
As well as lecturing physics and astronomy at GSU, Dr. Justin Robinson also spearheads multiple astronomy public outreach efforts. He is the GSU Affiliate Director of the GA Space Grant Consortium, the Faculty Lead for GOT Space, and he program manages Astronomy on Tap Atlanta.
Dr. Robinson loves doing research on distance measurement techniques for spiral galaxies and the large-scale structure of our local Universe.
Dr. Robinson was the first speaker at Fernbank Science Center's Cosmic Conversations speaker series, where he presented "Refining and Extending the Cosmic Distance Ladder".
Besides astronomy, he loves watching movies or hanging out in the Three Taverns brewery in Decatur.
Fun fact: Justin's students call him J.Rob.
