Emily Levesque is an astronomy professor at the University of Washington in Seattle. Her first popular science book, THE LAST STARGAZERS, explores the behind-the-scenes world of professional astronomy and is an Amazon Best Book of 2020, a AAAS/Subaru SB&F Prize for Excellence in Science Books Finalist, and a PEN/E. O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award Finalist. Emily's research studies how the most massive stars in the universe evolve and die. She has observed for upward of fifty nights on many of the planet’s largest telescopes and flown over the Antarctic stratosphere in an experimental aircraft for her research. Her academic accolades include the 2014 Annie Jump Cannon Prize, a 2017 Alfred P. Sloan fellowship, a 2019 Cottrell Scholar award, and the 2020 Newton Lacy Pierce Prize. She earned a bachelor’s degree in physics from MIT and a PhD in astronomy from the University of Hawaii. When she occasionally stumbles across some spare time, she attempts to spend it traveling, playing violin, skiing, messing with new recipes, or finishing triathlons very slowly. These plans are often waylaid by an old couch and a new book.
