12/11/25 – PESC Event: The Discovery of Pulsars

Press Release: The Discovery of Pulsars

This is a fascinating story of how a PhD student was instrumental in making one of the most important leaps forward in our understanding of the cosmos. But for her diligence and attention to detail the early signs could easily have been missed. Her example should inspire others to pursue their interests and overcome all the hurdles that they encounter on the way.

The lecture will be given by Dame Prof. Jocelyn Burnell – University of Oxford
