DESCRIPTION:General Physics Colloquium\, Professor Jess McIver\, University
  of British Columbia - Ralls Lecture\n\nTitle:  New Discoveries with Gravi
 tational-wave Astrophysics\n\nHost:  Nils Deppe\n\nAbstract:  In the last 
 ten years\, the field of gravitational wave astrophysics has grown from a 
 groundbreaking first discovery to revealing new populations of black holes
  and neutron stars through distant cosmic collisions\, yielding new insigh
 ts into extreme spacetime curvatures\, cosmology\, and ultra-dense matter.
  I'll give an overview of the current Advanced LIGO detectors and summariz
 e the most recent results from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA network and their wide
 -reaching implications. I'll close with prospects for the future of multi-
 messenger astrophysics with gravitational wave detectors on Earth and in s
 pace.
