Speaker's Night: "From dust grains to stars and shots in the Dark."

Star formation is incredibly inefficient. Compared to the available amount of gas in molecular clouds, only a few percent of the cloud forms stars. In this talk, I will talk about how dust is created, grows, and destroyed in the interstellar medium (ISM). Understanding the size and evolution of dust grains in ISM is significant in answering why star formation is a very inefficient process in the universe.
