Abstract:
What is radio astronomy? What are it's origins? What can it see? How is it done? Jason will answer these questions about humanity's first foray into the invisible universe. Jason will look at the sources of radio waves, how we detect them and what amateurs can do to make radio observations.

Bio:
Jason Nishiyama is a high school teacher with the Calgary Board of Education and is a sessional instructor with the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Calgary during the summer months. Though Jason's current research is in planetary nebulae, he started out in radio astronomy as an amateur and he still enjoys dabbling in the radio part of the spectrum.
