Science has recently observing the ripples in spacetime caused by moving black holes; these gravitational waves will open a new window to the universe of things we can't see with light - things that could unlock some of the deepest mysteries about the universe. Dr. Holley ­Bockelmann’s research on growing supermassive black holes and rogue black holes have been featured in many online and print media outlets, though she still gets a bit nervous talking to the press. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx

Trey Mack interviews Dr. Holley-Bockelmann from Vanderbilt University focusing on a research paper that investigates whether or not a feeling of social belonging can affect academic performance. She shares her experiences with social belonging during her education as well as how she might implement strategies from this paper in her classroom to increase a feeling of social belonging.

This was a research colloquium at Montana Tech a few years ago, and they nicely posted it to youtube.
