Professor Peter Quinn is the Executive Director of ICRAR, the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research, an organisation spearheading one of the largest scientific endeavours in history. The mighty Square Kilometre Array telescope. This is a telescope 20 years in the making, one that will allow us to look back to the very first objects ever formed in the universe and one that is being built right here in Western Australia. This is a wide-ranging conversation as Peter shares insights from his incredible career in astronomy. We discuss dark matter, black holes, the edge of the universe, future careers in astronomy, the benefits of taking multiple pathways as a scientist and all the most recent news on the development of this world-conquering telescope. We hope you enjoy our chat with Professor Peter Quinn.
