The neutron radius of a heavy nucleus is a fundamental nuclear-structure observable that remains elusive. A seemingly unrelated problem, namely, the determination of the equation of state of cold nuclear matter, also continues to challenge our understanding of the many-body problem at both low and high densities. In regard to neutron radii, significant progress is expected next year as the Parity Radius Experiment (PREx) at the Jefferson Laboratory promises to measure the neutron radius of 208Pb accurately and model independently via parity-violating electron scattering. In this contribution I will examine the far-reaching implications that the PREx experiment will have on constraining the equation of state of cold nuclear matter by focusing on a selected set of neutron-star observables.
