By Fraser Cain & Dr. Pamela Gay
Streamed live on May 5, 2025.
Hosted by: Fraser Cain and Dr. Pamela L. Gay.

Where are all the intermediate-mass black holes that should be the building blocks of the biggest ones? Actually, the science has been accelerating rapidly and we now know of hundreds of them. The question marks in our understanding are slowly getting replaced with data. Let's review what we now know about intermediate mass black holes and their origins.
