Prof. Claudia de Rham of Imperial College on Gravity.
Scientific Sense ® by Gill Eapen: Prof. Claudia de Rham is professor is a Theoretical physicist at Imperial College London. She develops and tests cosmological theories dealing with a wide variety of concepts, from the early universe and dark energy to the behavior of gravity.
