DESCRIPTION:The 2021 Bakerian Lecture\, hosted by The Royal Society\, will 
 be delivered by Professor Victoria Kaspi on Tuesday\, April 27\, 2021 at 1
 :30 p.m. EST.\n\nProfessor Kaspi was awarded the Bakerian Medal in 2021 fo
 r her research focused on neutron stars and their utility for constraining
  basic physics\, as well as for landmark discoveries on magnetars\, the mo
 st highly magnetized neutron stars known. More recently\, she has begun to
  study Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). FRBs are short (few millisecond) bursts o
 f radio waves observed from cosmological distances. Their origin is presen
 tly unknown\, yet their rate is many hundreds per sky per day\, indicating
  a not-uncommon phenomenon in the Universe.\n\nIn this Lecture\, Professor
  Kaspi will review the FRB field and present new results on FRBs from the 
 digital transit radio telescope\, the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping 
 Experiment (CHIME).\n\nThe lecture will be broadcast live on Zoom and will
  be recorded (including a live Q&A). Advanced registration is required.\n

 ecture series is the premier lecture in physical sciences. The lectureship
  was established through a bequest by Henry Baker FRS (PDF) of £100 for 'a
 n oration or discourse on such part of natural history or experimental phi
 losophy\, at such time and in such manner as the President and Council of 
 the Society for the time being shall please to order and appoint'. The lec
 ture series began in 1775. The medal is of silver gilt\, is awarded annual
 ly and is accompanied by a gift of £10\,000.\n\n \n
