Kayla Turner

I participated in the Astro Scholars Program at Johns Hopkins University, and after it finished, I immediately changed my major to physics. I am most passionate about learning the mysteries of the universe and helping others learn and get interested into astronomy.

I plan to do research for a couple years and then eventually host outreach programs to teach others about astronomy and physics. I recently finished a fellowship at Johns Hopkins studying dark matter with Fermilab’s DarkQuest data. I am starting another internship in the fall with the Space Telescope Science Institute (STSci) studying Galaxy Clusters.
