Two UC Davis Professors quoted in USA Today piece on black holes.
When science reporter for USA Today was asked by her editor to do a story on black holes, she reached out to Professor Lloyd Knox. Professor Knox gave her some general background on black holes, and also pointed her to others on our faculty who actually study black holes, including our most recent hire, Assistant Professor Brenna Mockler. Professor Mockler studies black holes and stars via the observational signatures of 'tidal disruption events' -- the tearing apart of a star by the tidal forces of a black hole. Both Knox and Mockler are quoted in the resulting article. Mockler even gets the last word.
