Interstellar plasma lenses bend radio li ght\, and if mapped out using VLBI\, can be used themselves as cosmic tele scopes billions of kilometers across to study astronomical sources with in credible precision. In this talk\, Robert will describe the historical and present developments which make this technique reality\, as well as recen t breakthroughs.\n\nDate: Thursday\, November 16th 2023\n Time: 7pm (doors open 6:50 pm)\n Location: McConnell Engineering Building room 204\n\nCan't join us in person?
