Description

I am a Chinese American Physicist at the University of Virginia and a mother of three. I like running, swimming, painting, gardening, and trying new things. I used to play volleyball in college. I don't like singing. I do Experimental Nuclear and Particle Physics with a focus on Electron Scattering. I like that all the number crunching and figure making have a higher meaning behind. Long Range Plan to me is a field guide for research in nuclear physics/science, new edition available every 7 years.

What is life as a physicist is like? It is a little bit different for everyone. On each episode, a different physicist discusses their research, what got them interested in physics, obstacles they overcame, and what a typical day as a physicist looks like. They also provide tips and suggestions for students who may be interested in studying physics and becoming physicists. Physicists are people with lives outside of the lab too! Guests share about their interests and hobbies outside of research. Be sure to listen if you are interested in becoming a physicist too!
