Before the football game versus Harvard and the Tiger Tailgate, join fellow alumni and friends for an engaging discussion with Josh Winn, Princeton University professor of astrophysical science. His group studies exoplanets, or planets around other stars, with the goals of understanding how they form and making progress on the age-old question of whether there are other planets capable of supporting life. 

Winn earned his Ph.D. in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and held postdoctoral fellowships at Harvard University. Winn was a member of the MIT physics faculty for 10 years before moving to Princeton in 2016. He is a co-investigator in an ongoing NASA mission called the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS, and the author of a book for the general public, “The Little Book of Exoplanets,” published by Princeton University Press.
