The trailblazers in human, academic, scientific and religious freedom have always been in the minority… It will take such a small committed minority to work unrelentingly to win the uncommitted majority. Such a group may transform America’s greatest dilemma into her most glorious opportunity.
Background
Morgane König is a postdoctoral fellow in theoretical cosmology at MIT and at Dartmouth College. König earned a PhD in theoretical physics from the University of California, Davis, following an MS in cosmology (Pierre and Marie Curie University) and an SB in mathematics and physics (Pierre and Marie Curie University).
Interests
Her research focuses on the study of the universe as a whole, from the era of inflation to the present, in particular particle physics, cosmology and theories of gravity.
