Journeys of Scientists ·

2020/09/23

Alison Peisker is a 5th year grad student studying particle astrophysics. She works on a gamma ray observatory, taking data from a neutrino observatory and looking for coincidences in gamma rays from already detected neutrinos. We’ll learn about Alison’s interests which include music and knitting. Alison will also talk about her experiences adapting and growing through grad school, and how that has influenced some of her career goals.
