Partha Pritom Ghosh_12303244 © SCIE 113 2024 SCIE 113 Speaker Series Worksheet This worksheet is designed to help you analyze arguments presented by speakers at the SCIE 113 speaker series, to concisely summarize their most important points in your own words, and to keep track of sources of information – all important skills that we will practice and apply throughout the course. This worksheet will also be a useful resource if you use information from the speaker series in Essay 1 or the final project. However, this worksheet is not intended for extensive note-taking, and we recommend that you take notes elsewhere before summarizing your answers on this worksheet. Please try to answer questions in 2 sentences at most, unless otherwise noted. Background questions (not for marks, but your TA may give you feedback on these) 1. What is the speaker’s name and job title? Dr. Michelle Kunimoto is an assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of British Columbia. 2. What is the speaker’s discipline or background in science? Using the APA style guide on Canvas, provide a reference for the source where you learned this information. Dr. Michelle Kunimoto’s research focuses on exoplanet detection, characterization, and demographics, using data-driven techniques to extract valuable information from exoplanet surveys and address key scientific questions.

( 1 point ) ( Note : This question does not apply to the first speaker series presentation of the term.) This presentation relates us to the learning we discovered in SCIE 113 that, more the experiment we perform, more in depth we get into science and science does not start with facts but it’s a discovering process. Questions marked for content (7 points total) Note : If the speaker has discussed multiple research projects, please choose one research project to write about for the following questions. 7. What is the speaker’s research question? ( 1 points ) The speaker's scientific issue is likely about studying the features of exoplanets and discovering potential livable worlds. 8. What approaches or methods does the speaker use to investigate the research question? ( 1 point ) The speaker uses various methods, including data analysis from telescopes like Kepler and TESS, follow-up observations, and potential future instruments like the James Webb Space Telescope, to investigate their research question. 9. What is the main claim that the speaker makes about the research project? ( 2 points ) The speaker claims that exoplanet hunting is rapidly progressing, with an increasing number of exoplanets being discovered, suggesting the possibility of future habitable worlds. 10. Using point-form notes, list examples of relevant evidence that the speaker presented to support the claim that you identified in question 9. ( 3 points ) Examples of relevant evidence presented by the speaker to support this claim include: • The increasing number of exoplanets discovered over the years, from a few hundred 15 years ago to thousands at present. • The development of new space-based missions like the Habitable Worlds Observatory and the Nancy Grace Roman Telescope aimed at furthering exoplanet detection. • The emphasis by astronomers on identifying habitable worlds as a top priority for future astronomy missions, indicating the significance of this research area.
