Next in Science: Astronomy and Astrophysics João Alves Behind Radcliffe Wave, Creative Inspiration

During his Radcliffe fellowship, João Alves plans to construct the most accurate map of the local neighborhood (3,000-light-year radius). Combining both space and ground-based observational data, he plans to build the first map of the space motion of gas and investigate how giant gas clouds, the nurseries of stars, came to be.
