# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Ask a Science Envoy: Cosmology & Evolution
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 14 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Tue, 14 Apr, 2026 at 08:30 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: Stanford researchers: (1) use galaxy surveys to show cosmic structure, (2) accelerate evolution to reveal its full creative potential.About this EventWonderfest Science Envoys are early-career researchers with enhanced communication skills and aspirations. Following short talks on provocative modern science topics, these two Science Envoys will answer questions with insight and enthusiasm:• Stanford physicist Mahlet Shiferaw on Learning Cosmology from Galaxies — The Universe is shaped by an invisible “cosmic web” of dark matter that guides where galaxies form. By comparing observations of galaxies to predictions from models, we can probe the nature of dark matter and dark energy. Cosmologists are now developing new modeling and inference techniques to unlock even more information from upcoming galaxy surveys.• Stanford biologist Sebastian Somolinos on Give Evolution a Chance — When was the last time you watched evolution happen? Evolution is nature’s most powerful problem solver, yet creatures like horseshoe crabs remind us that it can also be slow and stubbornly conservative. To unlock evolution’s full creative potential, and to appreciate evolution more fully, we must learn how to accelerate it. We need to give evolution a chance.
