From a star theoretical physicist, a journey into the world of particle physics and the cosmos -- and a call for a more just practice of science. In The Disordered Cosmos, Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein shares her love for physics, from the Standard Model of Particle Physics and what lies beyond it, to the physics of melanin in skin, to the latest theories of dark matter -- all with a new spin informed by history, politics, and the wisdom of Star Trek. One of the leading physicists of her generation, Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein is also one of fewer than one hundred Black American women to earn a PhD from a department of physics. Her vision of the cosmos is vibrant, buoyantly non-traditional, and grounded in Black feminist traditions. Prescod-Weinstein urges us to recognize how science, like most fields, is rife with racism, sexism, and other dehumanizing systems. She lays out a bold new approach to science and society that begins with the belief that we all have a fundamental right to know and love the night sky. The Disordered Cosmos dreams into existence a world that allows everyone to experience and understand the wonders of the universe.

This book contains several components, a pop science introduction to particle cosmology, an exploration of racism, sexism, ableism and cisgenderism and the authors own experiences in the field. The first fills a welcome gap for me personally - when I explain what I do to people usually so “Oh! Like Einstein/Stephen Hawking/Brian Greene” and I either try to explain the differences between subfields, or just shrug “close enough!”. It’s nice to have a book to point friends to and say “like Chanda!” I am looking forward to reading this part to my kids.The book then emphasizes how science is a workplace, full of humans where society’s ills like racism don’t just creep in, but forms the sub-culture of science with the same ills. This matters not just because science loses talented people due to the barriers placed in front of them, but far more so because the people in the field are human beings that matter.The third element of this book is surprisingly tender. I was expecting fire and brimstone teaching full of useful nuggets for how to be a better ally, similar to the author’s blog. But it was very vulnerable in a way I would describe as generous. You certainly get the feeling you get to know the author deeply. In a lot of conversations, I sometimes hear people wonder “what’s the big deal” and the most difficult thing about answering this question is you can’t use other people’s personal stories. Personal stories are just so much more impactful than the plethora of studies that examine sexism (for example) in STEM. But there is a catch 22, you may not bother seeking out these studies at all unless there is a personal element to motivate you. Usually I try to answer with something practical like “if you aim to be a person people can comfortably share with, you will eventually find out why it's a big deal”. This book is very generous with personal experience which allows for a more direct answer to that question. It probably wasn’t easy sharing so much personal experience with the world, I hope the field recognizes the valuable and generous piece of work this is
