Amber Strunk from LIGO, the Nobel Prize-awarded Gravitational Wave Observatory located at Hanford and operated by MIT and Caltech, will discuss 10 years of gravitational wave astrophysics.
LIGO Hanford Observatory sits just outside of Richland, Washington, one of just a handful of specialized observatories in the world searching for gravitational waves from cosmic events such as the collision of black holes and neutron stars. While these waves were predicted by Einstein in 1915 the were only directly detected by LIGO 10 years ago. Since that first detection over 300 detections have been made expanding our ability to understand the cosmos and the fundamental laws of physics that govern it. Learn about what we have uncovered in the last decade and what the future holds for gravitational wave research.

Portland - U.S. Senator Ron Wyden today announced he will hold 10 open-to-all town halls starting March 28 in eastern, central and southern Oregon as well as in the Columbia Gorge.
Heading into these 10 town halls from March 28-April 2, Wyden has held 1,152 open-to-all town halls statewide in keeping his promise to hold at least one town hall each year in each of Oregon’s 36 counties.
“I made my town hall pledge because all Oregonians’ voices matter,” Wyden said. “I very much look forward to these upcoming town halls to hear questions, concerns and ideas from rural Oregonians to make their hometowns and neighborhoods even better places to live, work and raise a family.”
The schedule for the upcoming town halls is as follows:
Saturday, March 28
Sunday, March 29,
Monday, March 30
Tuesday, March 31
Wednesday, April 1
Thursday, April 2
For everyone’s security, backpacks and large bags will not be allowed in the town halls. Similar to major sporting events, there is a clear bag policy for town halls, allowing only clear bags (max 12″x 6″x12″), one-gallon clear plastic bags, or small clutches (max 4.5″x 6.5″), plus essential items like medical bags or infant necessities, with no storage for disallowed bags. Backpacks and non-clear bags are prohibited, though medical/infant needs have exceptions. Doors will open one hour before the town hall start time for attendees, except in Hood River where doors will open at 3:30 pm.
