After a long time of work, I'm making my master's thesis project public: a CUDA-accelerated numerical relativity raytracer for Schwarzschild black holes that compares seven different integration methods, including two novel integrators I derived specifically for this problem. My thesis was inspired by some of the results in the Nasa, Orbits, Flight Book 1963 What…

NCSE members had the opportunity to hear from Rebecca Lindsey, managing director of Climate.us — a private, nonprofit successor to the shuttered Climate.gov. Lindsey discussed the importance of preserving public access to trusted climate science data and shared insights into the development of Climate.us. She was interviewed by NCSE Executive Director Amanda L. Townley, who…
