NANOGrav Education and Outreach: Growing a Diverse and Inclusive Collaboration for Low-Frequency Gravitational Wave Astronomy
Abstract
Gravitational wave (GW) astrophysics requires a growing pool of students and researchers with unique, interdisciplinary skills. It also offers an opportunity to build a diverse, inclusive community. We describe the efforts of NANOGrav to foster such growth by involving students at all levels in GW astrophysics with pulsar timing arrays.
