Description

“Finding Your Own Rainbow” is a conversation with an international graduate student at a research university. We talk about her transition from an all-women’s undergraduate institution to a predominantly male, physics graduate program. In addition, she describes her encounters with racial bias in the US, and her ultimately successful search to find the right graduate research group.  Hosted on Acast.

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 power to change things. So, if you’re a member of the physics or wider STEM community, I hope that as you listen to their stories, you’ll consider how we can help change the culture in physics for the better.
