    Rebecca/Becky Smethurst is an Oxford astrophysicist whose channel I recently discovered while searching out academically grounded educational presenters on YouTube. Her research tends to focus on galaxy and black hole formation, and elements of cosmology more broadly. The first videos of hers I watched were the one summing up the history of a scientific model of a particular part of the universe, like how we know supermassive black holes exist at the center of galaxies. This week's video describes the academy's present "crisis in cosmology" and what scientists are doing in order to move forward with their research.
