Sandy Faber is a University Professor Emerita at UCSC and a staff member of the Lick Observatory. She is an observational astronomer with research interests in cosmology and galaxy formation. Some of her major discoveries include the first structural scaling law for galaxies (called the Faber–Jackson law), large-scale flow perturbations in the expansion of the Universe, and super-massive black holes at the centers of galaxies. She founded the Earth Futures Institute  and the Osterbrock Graduate Leadership Program for Astronomy PhD students at UCSC.  We discuss her discoveries, the future of our planet, and the possibility of economic growth.
