Bojos per la Física 2025

In February 2025, Martine Lokken and Laura Casas, as well as Dane Cross from another research group at IFAE, participated in the Bojos per la Física program, in which high school students from across Catalonia visit the IFAE center to explore different topics in physics. During the activity, they gave an overview of how we know the universe is expanding, the different methods we use to study it, and what a cosmologist’s daily work looks like. The session also included a hands-on activity, where the students used DESI high Jupyter notebooks to look at the effective magnitude of Type Ia supernova and estimate the amount of dark energy in the universe.
