From 2016-2018, she was the Principal Investigator on a Foundational Questions Institute (FQXI) grant titled "Epistemological Schemata of Astro | Physics: A Reconstruction of Observers". Early life and educationPrescod-Weinstein was born in El Sereno in East Los Angeles, California, and went to school in the Los Angeles Unified School District.[1][2] She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Physics and Astronomy at Harvard College in 2003. Her thesis, "A study of winds in active galactic nuclei", was completed under the supervision of Martin Elvis.[3] She then earned a Master's degree in Astronomy at the University of California, Santa Cruz, working with Anthony Aguirre.[4] In 2010, Prescod-Weinstein completed her Ph.D. dissertation, titled "Acceleration as Quantum Gravity Phenomenology",[5] under the supervision of Lee Smolin and Niayesh Afshordi at University of Waterloo, while conducting her research at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics.[1][6] In doing so, she became the 63rd African-American woman in history to earn a Ph.D. in Physics.[1][7] ResearchPrescod-Weinstein's research has focused on various topics in cosmology and theoretical physics, including the axion as a dark matter candidate,[8] inflation, and classical and quantum fields in the early universe.[9] From 2004 to 2007 Prescod-Weinstein was a named National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow.[12] After Prescod-Weinstein's Ph.D., she was a NASA Postdoctoral Fellow in the Observational Cosmology Lab at Goddard Space Flight Center.[10][11] In 2011, she won a Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she was jointly appointed to the Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research and the Department of Physics.[10][11][12] At MIT, Prescod-Weinstein worked in Alan Guth's group in the Centre for Theoretical Physics.[13] In 2016, she became the Principal Investigator on a $100,522 FQXI grant to study “Epistemological Schemata of Astro | Physics: A Reconstruction of Observers” seeking to answer questions regarding how to re-frame who is an "observer", to acknowledge those existing outside of the European Enlightenment framework, and how that might change knowledge production in science.[14] She is working on the NASA STROBE-X experiment.[15] AwardsPrescod-Weinstein earned the Barbados House Canada Inc. Gordon C Bynoe Scholarship in 2007.[10] In 2013 she won the MIT "Infinite Kilometer Award".[16] In March 2017, Prescod-Weinstein won the LGBT+ Physicists Acknowledgement of Excellence Award "For Years of Dedicated Effort in Changing Physics Culture to be More Inclusive and Understanding Toward All Marginalised Peoples".[17] Public engagementPrescod-Weinstein is an advocate[18] for increasing the diversity within science by considering intersectionality[19] and proper celebration of the underrepresented groups who contribute to scientific knowledge production.[20] She has been a member of the executive committee of the National Society of Black Physicists.[21] In 2017 she was a plenary speaker at the Women in Physics Canada meeting.[22] Prescod-Weinstein has contributed popular science articles for Slate, American Scientist, Nature Astronomy, Bitch media, and Physics World.[23][24][25][26][27] She is on the Book Review Board of Physics Today and was editor-in-chief of The Offing.[28] The American Physical Society described her as a "vocal presence on Twitter".[29] Prescod-Weinstein maintains a "Decolonising Science Reading List.[30] Prescod-Weinstein has given several interviews and public talks.[31][32][33][34] In 2018, Prescod-Weinstein was one of 18 authors of "Particles for Justice", a statement condemning Alessandro Strumia's controversial comments on women in physics at CERN.[35][36][37] Personal lifePrescod-Weinstein is queer and agender.[2] She is married to a lawyer.
