Professor of Astronomy Kristine Larsen Interviewed on Physics Central, Website of American Physical Society

"If you were to attend one of Kris Larsen’s classes, you might hear her describing the magnetic fields on the sun as a giant magnetic hernia. On another day, she might be comparing the shape of the universe to a Pringle’s potato chip, or spinning around doing the “pulsar dance” to simulate a rapidly rotating neutron star. And in a class on science and society, she’s discussing creation myths in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings." Read more of the online interview by selecting this link to Physics Central.
