From oscillating stars to solar sunquakes, she explains how sound waves can measure the sun's size, age and activity.&amp;nbsp; Beyond the science, she shares her remarkable journey from a small rural town in Belgium where she had to attend an all-boys school, the only school near her family home. She was expected to become a seamstress but Conny's dreams were beyond this planet, leading her on a path toward becoming a highly acclaimed asteroseismologist.
