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!

Dr. Allena Opper (she/her): Season 3 Episode 13
<p><strong>Dr. Allena Opper (she/her)</strong><br><strong>National Science Foundation</strong><br>I am a nuclear physicist and have done experiments at laboratories across north America. I’ve been a professor at Ohio University and George Washington University. Since 2014 I have had the honor and privilege of serving as a program director of the National Science Foundation’s Nuclear Physics Program. During the pandemic I did a few online “Paint Night” things where the instructor guides the participants in making a painting with acrylic paints – I now have three “paintings” decorating a shelf in my closet! The Long Range Plan, like the previous LRPs, has valuable advice that DOE and NSF will use in making funding decisions -- just as importantly, it clearly<br>communicates to Congress and the American people the priorities and exciting opportunities in nuclear science. </p> <p><br></p> <p>My Journey as a Physicist is brought to you by PhD student <a href="https://perl.natsci.msu.edu/people/graduate-students/bryan-stanley/">Bryan Stanley</a> (he/him/his) and Prof. <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.pa.msu.edu%2Fpeople%2Fhwlin%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNHKpswHb14HhBLArZNZxdgSumIxoA">Huey-Wen Lin</a> (she/her).

Prof. Haiyan Gao (she/her): Season 3 Episode 12
<p>I am a Chinese-American physicist, and I love gardening, cooking, walking and music. I have joint appointments between Brookhaven National Lab and Duke University. I am an experimentalist, who uses electrons and photons as microscopes to look deeper and deeper inside protons and neutrons, which are the building blocks of atomic nuclei, to advance our understanding about the structure of visible matter. While visible matter is only several percent of our universe, we, humans are made of visible matter. I am fascinated by the fact that I am studying myself and that gives me great joy. </p> <p> This is the second time I served on the Long-Range Plan Writing Committee. www.tunl.duke.edu/~mep </p> <p>My Journey as a Physicist is brought to you by PhD student <a href="https://perl.natsci.msu.edu/people/graduate-students/bryan-stanley/">Bryan Stanley</a> (he/him/his) and Prof. <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.pa.msu.edu%2Fpeople%2Fhwlin%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNHKpswHb14HhBLArZNZxdgSumIxoA">Huey-Wen Lin</a> (she/her).

Prof. Abhay Deshpande (he/him): Season 3 Episode 11
<p>I am an experimentalist working the field of nuclear and particle physics. I am a SUNY Distinguished Professor at Stony Brook University. I also serve as the Electron Ion Collier (EIC) Science Director at BNL and Director of the Center for Frontiers in Nuclear Science (CFNS). I like to use “spin” as a tool to investigate and understand nature — thus I always use polarized beams or targets. I have been involved experiments at BNL (both RHIC and AGS), at Jefferson Lab, PSI, CERN and DESY. These experiments addressed my interests in nucleon spin structure and also precision electroweak physics that push the boundaries of the Standard Model of Physics. In every one of them the property of “spin” played an important or pivotal role. I was one of the earliest Electron Ion Collider (EIC) enthusiast, having been involved from its birth/infancy to now- when it is being realized. It has been a privilege to be involved or participating in the US long range planing process since 2001 in all things related to the EIC. Through those years I learnt so many other things from friends and colleagues in our field including the wonderful initiatives like the FRIB which is operational now and the neutrino-less double beta decay experiments - which hopefully will also happen soon.</p> <p><br></p> <p>My Journey as a Physicist is brought to you by PhD student <a href="https://perl.natsci.msu.edu/people/graduate-students/bryan-stanley/">Bryan Stanley</a> (he/him/his) and Prof. <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.pa.msu.edu%2Fpeople%2Fhwlin%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNHKpswHb14HhBLArZNZxdgSumIxoA">Huey-Wen Lin</a> (she/her).
