 icists. She will take us on an exploratory tour of the neighborhood of a b
 lack hole\, and help us feel the visceral experience of encountering it (f
 or example\, warning us about the danger of being “spaghettified” by its e
 normous tidal forces.)  She’ll also discuss the influence of black holes o
 n the universe at large\, including their mergers and the way their presen
 ce can sculpt entire galaxies. \n\nDr. Janna Levin is Claire Tow Professor
  of physics and astronomy at Columbia University’s Barnard College.  Her s
 cientific work deals with the nature and extent of space and time\, black 
 holes and neutron stars\, the background radiation from the early universe
 \, and gravitational waves. She is also Director of Sciences at Pioneer Wo
 rks\, an interdisciplinary cultural center in Brooklyn\, that encourages c
 ooperation between the arts and the sciences.  She is the author of How th
 e Universe got its Spots\, and Black Hole Blues and Other Songs from Outer
  Space.  Her first book of fiction\, A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines\,
