Dr. Bosler has given many public talks on a spectrum of topics in astrophysics, and through experience, she also began to see that subject of the Universe and its nature touched people deeply. The inspiration for these seminars comes out of an interest in nurturing the connections people find in their heart-minds when they reflect on the vastness of the Universe.
