Voices In Physics

Voices in Physics is a series of interviews with physicists. In each episode we’ll discuss the culture in physics and how it affects them. We’ll be exploring what inspired them to pursue careers in physics, what discouraged them, and who they turned to for support. The people I spoke to are from a diverse range of backgrounds and at different stages of their careers, from undergraduates to tenured professors.Conversations like these happen all the time but are rarely heard by the people with the
