Julie McEnery is the Project Scientist for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. In this role, she is the scientific lead of a NASA Astrophysics flagship mission that will study the expansion history of the Universe, the evolution of cosmic structure and perform a statistical census of planets around other stars. Her scientific research focuses on the study of extreme high energy transients and the development of the ground and space based observatories needed to pursue this. She is the senior scientist for high energy astrophysics at Goddard Space Flight Center, and co-director of the Joint Space Sciences Center between Goddard and the University of Maryland.
In this episode, Ben and Julie discuss the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, it's timeline and how it compares to the JWST ‘Instead of seeing deep, seeing wide’.
