DESCRIPTION:With Daryl Haggard\, Associate Professor of Physics in the McGi
 ll Space Institute\n\nDr. Haggard's ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ Extreme Gravity and Accretion g
 roup investigates the most extreme endpoints for matter in the Universe\, 
 black holes and neutron stars\, employing cutting-edge observational tests
  of Einstein's theory of general relativity and of plasma and accretion ph
 ysics and pushing these black hole frontiers. Dr. Haggard will offer a bri
 ef\, fun overview of her group's black hole studies and describe what futu
 re black hole studies may look like.\n\nDaryl Haggard is an Associate Prof
 essor of Physics at ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ and the ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ Space Institute. Her 
 research focuses on black holes and neutron stars and leads multi-waveleng
 th and time-domain studies regarding supermassive black holes and their ex
 pansion. In 2019\, through the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration her t
 eam was able to report an image of a black hole’s shadow in 2019\; she was
  honoured by La Presse for this discovery as Personalité de la semaine. Pr
 ofessor Haggard also co-led the identification of the first X-Ray counterp
 art of the first neutron star merger of GW170817\; this earned her team a 
 Top 10 Discovery of 2018 award by Québec Science and was Science Magazine’
 s 2017 Breakthrough of the Year. She has been honoured in her contribution
 s to science with a CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholars Award in the Gravity and
  the Extreme Universe Program as well as a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in
  Multi-Messenger Astrophysics. In 2020\, her Event Horizon Telescope team 
 received the 2020 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics.\n\nWatch the
