Dr Lucia McCallum shares "If we want satellite navigation to work, our supermarkets to be stocked and our online money transfers arriving safely, we need to make sure we have a clear view of black holes in distant galaxies – and that means clearing up the radio highway." Read more: utas.au/hd

The satellites the world relies on for navigation, communication and more get their bearings from distant black holes – but radio noise is blurring the picture.

This is very exciting for me. It's a chance to build and lead a new team to work out what is happening in East Antarctica (is it growing or shrinking?) and a better estimate of its future. I'll be collaborating with some of the best early and mid-career researchers in Australia 1/2
